Self-Hosted Main

This is why they forced everybody through a privacy settings prompt recently.

It’s not necessarily from your server, even if you just mark a movie/show as “Watched”, it’ll show up on your feed. No one will know if it’s from your server or not

Left Plex for Emby (when they started adding their own content and marketing it to me) few years ago, never looked back. You are absolutely right, one email like this and I’m gone. Emby does what it’s supposed to do and just that, that’s all I care about. Jellyfin looks cool too..

You guys are so lucky, you got the e-mail. Plex didn't send me any e-mail.

Reading the comments, I guess you all never go and never have gone to the movies being so secretive about others knowing what you've watched.

I drop Plex years ago when they started doing shifty stuff. If I was sharing content with another person or someone with sharing content with me it it would start getting blocked and turned off. I guess they don't want people to use their software

The joy of Emby 👌 I literally chosed to go with this because of this reason and support the team with the Premiere membership. The client apps might be less refined, but they have come a long way!

Ah enshittification, guess ill go install jellyfin, i self hosted to not deal with stupid shit like this but here we are.

I hope jellyfin comes fully to samsung tvs soon since the only thing stopping me from moving to jellyfin is my dad uses a samsung tv and I live to far away to go sideload it for him

There's nothing you can do to stop Plex collecting the data, but you can at least stop your friends seeing what you're watching by adjusting the privacy settings.

Literally exploring other options. Plex, your days are numbered, cause this is BS! 🤬🤬🤬

Wow. This did step.over a line. Disgusting move by Plex.

Now everyone knows all my weird kinks! How am I supposed to explain my weird milk, baby diaper, shaming fetish to them? Unless...

Lol, time to use alternative media servers.
