You seem really sensitive to this.
You have made the move to JF based on what you think Plex will do in the future
Yes. Plex have access to my content, my usage history, my personal details, etc. Giving that sort of information away and trusting a for-profit company to do the right thing is naive at best. I feel happier now that the system is behind closed doors, even if I do miss out on a feature or two.
Hence, you were disingenuously spreading nonsense and misinformation.
Not really. Are you mixing my response up with others? I voiced an opinion, that was all.
They also responded to me me saying “Plex has been cracking down on Netflix style streaming services for 5 years” but then tell you “Plex isn’t cracking down on piracy, you’re spreading misinformation!” 🤣
I’ve always hated the fact that Plex was sort of a black box, I’ve been using it for over a decade and always had random issues which we’re unable to be troubleshot because there was no information available. One long standing bug is sometimes when you setup a server it won’t connect to the Plex backend and doesn’t register on their end, so even if you visit the local IP of your server, there are zero server settings available. No one knows why it happens or how to fix it, there has been a big report open for it for ages and even the devs/support team are like 🤷♂️ when you ask them for help, and this is after paying for PlexPass. Granted it doesn’t happen frequently, but it’s still annoying as hell. “Claiming” your server when its run remotely (especially in docker) can sometimes be a huge pain as well.
You sure are incredibly trusting and protective of Plex. For a closed source system, unless you work for Plex, you are spreading misinformation by denying opinions contrary to your own. I would think myself naive to continue to trust in a company showing themselves to be taking action in favour of copyright holders.
