Ahoy mateys, it’s time to setup Jellyfin if you prefer not to pay for the privilege of self-hosting your own content.

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.
I have a Jellyfin instance running in parallel to check out its progress, but its just not there yet for me.
What do you mean with extensible? The plugin ‘shop’?

I really like the intro detector edl creator, tube archivist metadata provider, subtitle extract, and playback reporting plugins
Also you can customize the CSS for your server that extends to all clients using the jf webapp. Plex will never have that
Lol, that Jellyfin needs a 3rd party plugin for intro detection says a lot about the maturity of the project. Also, there are other Frontends for plex
