    I paid for a lifetime pass like six years ago or more. It was definitely before Jellyfin was well known or well developed.

    I’m probably gonna keep using it until they do the whole “lifetime is over” crap these kind of companies usually do.

    I’ll at least have gotten my moneys worth.

      I paid for the lifetime pass maybe, 10 years ago? I dunno, it’s been a very long time. It’s still my primary. I’ve been trialing Jellyfin, but there are still enough quirks that my wife (non-techie at all) won’t put up with, so yeah. That, and Plex makes it too easy to share outside my house, not sure where Jellyfin is at with it. I appreciate Jellyfin for what it is though, it has a lot of potential.

      Just because you paid for it doesn’t mean you can’t switch to the better, free option.

        Jellyfin is nowhere near the better option, it’s just a not-terrible dev.

        Plex is refined and easy to get external users not familiar with tech up and running. Plex looks better. Plex transcodes better.

        No hate for Jellyfin, just calling it how I see it.

          Similarly, I feel the same way about Jellyfin but Plex is making it really hard to be a Lifetime Pass member as well.

            Agree, they’re making all the wrong moves lately
