That was my point, saying that Plex was bad and then using jellyfin with tailscale to be functional equivalent on a feature didn’t make sense to me because tailscale has a company backing it instead of a community. That company at some point will most likely do similar things that Plex is doing. Someone that owns that company is going to want more money out of it.

Thank you for the detailed reply, appreciate it. Helps me think through my setup. FWIW I run both Plex and jellyfin but not tailscale since I’m not open to the Internet (double natted at the moment)

I see some posts taking about jellyfin and tailscale and I find it interesting that it’s not mentioned tailscale is a private company. Why are they not being held to the same standard as Plex? How long before it becomes enshittified? I saw they have a free plan but give it time until they realize the number of users in the free tier are large enough to monetize.

edit: I’m prepared to be down voted but mark this and see where it ends up at.

Edit2: and I’m not defending Plex. I agree it’s a shitty move.

And tattoos, didn’t forget the tattoos.

You should ask them if you haven’t already. In a kind way of course.
