Plex just announced they are raising the price of their lifetime Plex Pass from $250 to a whopping $750\. If you don’t want to be forced into a perpetual subscription model or or spend $750 US dollars, it’s time to look at a great free, open-source, and privacy-respecting alternative: Jellyfin.
In this video, we'll explain in detail how to get setup with Jellyfin if you've never had a home media server, guide you through the setup process, how to add media and finally whether you should allow remote access.
