Yesterday’s controversy surrounding Plex and their latest e-mail marketing campaign has been a great reminder to review the privacy settings they provide for opting out of data collection.
We’ve compiled a handy list for those not ready to make the jump to alternatives like Jellyfin, Dim, or Emby:
The problem for me with jelly fin is how difficult it is for my users to use it outside of my house. I have it setup for my parents and inlaws who barely know how to use email, plex for them is like netflix but allows them to also view family videos. I cant easily set that up for them unless I am physically in their house and set it up on all of their devices. Plex I can just give them a username and password and it is all set. Once I have an option to do that I might switch to another service.
