I jumped ship early on. They didn't include skipping intros (or removed the plugin or the capability to use plugins, I don't remember).
Went to Jellyfin, took like 2 hours to figure out what's different. I don't even remember, are there any features worth it staying on Plex? At least I'm not missing anything.
Also for watch together you start a watch group and can watch a show episode for episode. Instead of having to open each episode separately and having everyone join again (but maybe Plex fixed this already, I wouldn't know).
my main issues
What are the vulnerabilities?
there are some admin endpoints that are authenticated using any local IP, but the method they use allows spoofing the IP so those endpoints become accessible essentially without authentication
there were some other issues to do with unauthenticated enumeration and playback of content i believe too
ur missing out on seeing 20 dollars a month go down the drain. fool. jumped ship before the good stuff
man, i remember paying like 40 bucks for lifetime premium on plex.
Same, I think deals on the lifetime pass still show up periodically, but I got it when it was about $40 too. It's good software I use daily, so I'm happy with it.
Looks like on the last deal it was $120
Currently it is $250, which is too rich for my blood. Then again I just paid $70 for Doom the dark ages
That's how you know it's valueable! I don't want some crappy product they give away for free. \s
