  • I am wondering the same thing, this is the first time I heard about the latter.

  • There are no more free domains anymore?

  • Yeah, at this point they just think we are stupid as, as if they were taking a huge toll with the bandwidth by capping the remote playback option... They are not hosting the files ffs.

  • I am only an original (hacked) Nintendo Switch and I have been enjoying BOTW recently with higher than 30 FPS (60 at best) with some overclocking, that is good enough for my gaming standards.

    If I were to get a Steam Deck... I wouldn't use it for Switch games because I am more than happy with how my own Switch behaves... And I am aware emulation is not perfect with the Deck, like, PSP emulation level of perfect.

    If I had to choose one though, I'd go for the Deck, but not specifically for the Switch gaming capabilities, I have a considerable PC backlog.

  • No no, they promised they don't do that nasty stuff, I gotta believe them.

  • Perhaps you can merge Jellyfin and Kodi, I know you can use your Plex Server with Kodi.

  • For me it began since they announced they are killing the watch together feature... For other people it started a long time ago.

  • I am a lifetime Plex Pass User... I am not affected by their BS... Yet (watch together is going though).

  • .... A fee for adding content to each media, capped libraries? What is next?

    Let's brainstorm guys ;D

  • Charging for remote access is dumb as they are not being the one hosting the contents nor relaying them (if you have it properly set up).

    If they want to charge for it they should have inbuilt tunnels to solve CGNAT (like their relay but not stupidly capped).

  • Huh, I was somewhat excited about the elimination of the playback limit for mobile apps (we are in 2025 ffs!) and then re-read that this will be only applicable for the subpar preview version once it is released... Which doesn't fucking has the watch together feature lmao.

    The only good news in a nutshell is that I am still a Plex Pass Lifetime User, so in a nutshell I don't get good news lol.

  • I can understand new features being behind a fee, but this is putting old, old capabilities behind a paywall. Hmmm...

    I am a Trakt user, was an Evernote user and I am (thankfully) a Plex Pass user...

    What service are we missing that has done the same? We should make a list if there is not one already.

  • It is not going from my Plex Server nor my Real Debrid account as far as I can tell.

  • I miss not being a CGNAT user.

  • it is not tailscale. but also it seems I was wrong and its not wireguard either

    Yeah, I totally meant Wireguard there, my bad.

    I know what opening ports is, I only have v4. But I thought you have difficulties with bittorrent over v6. or is it that you still need to open ports for v6, in the firewall or something?

    I don't have difficulties to download, I have difficulties to seed because I am CGNATED and it seems Qbittorrent or any Torrent client really can't use IPv6 to be more connectable thus seed more.

    I want to seed more without having to pay for it or do convoluted workarounds.

  • Ah, and the redditors can't cope with knowing their community has become just another meme community, and yet they feel like it is so important and the last good community for Reddit 😂

    It is actually funny the delusionalism you get when you give a quick look there.

  • tailscale and zerotier are wireguard, but with a public server that helps with NAT. Syncthing uses a public server for that too.

    wireguard was specifically made to be as simple and minimalistic as possible.

    Zerotier wasn't always Tailscale was it?

    is there such a problem? honest question. But I think that might be a different issue

    You need to be connectable to download from all the peers, likewise non connectable users can't download from you, and how do you become connectable? By opening your ports, something that might seem archaic from somebody who has totally embraced IPv6.

    maybe they just don't see working on it profitable enough

    Yeah maybe.

    Just to clarify, I have several workarounds for the 3 issues that have involved spending more money or not to get rid of CGNAT.

    • For the 1st one... Well I already mentioned it, I am a ZT and Tailscale user, I did try Wireguard from a VPS once though, but I didn't like that I was entirely dependant of my upload speed, maybe I had my Iptables wrongly configured but I usually got faster speeds just using ZT or Tailscale (I didn't need to relay in the US VPS server).
    • For Torrenting... I actually haven't found a solution to use IPv6... I did use a container client to use my VPS at that time though, it being Digital Ocean and thus getting a DMCA letter for downloading TWD me being a LATAM user was... A kinda funny experience, with that said I stopped that project immediately, it was fun to give back to the community with my 24/7 NAS always seeding though.
    • For the last point... Well, I do use ZT and Tailscale to access the server myself, but when I want to expose it, I usually do it with a reverse proxy pointing out to my IPv6 address, and more recently using a Tailscale funnel, I haven't tried it thoroughly, but at least it seems to connect without using Plex's relays.

    As you can see, one needs to be well prepared with workarounds to deal with CGNAT.

  • The fact that Syncthing seems to solve CGNAT on its own has me wondering why there are not more solutions for the server/home side.

    Why does Wireguard or any other VPN not work like Tailscale or Zerotier?

    Why don't torrent clients can't work with IPv6 to seed more?

    Why doesn't Plex adopt a similar mechanic like Syncthing to expose the media over the Internet instead of being a prisoner of CGNAT?

    I know I am just throwing different options with my personal frustrations lol, but I hope you get what I am trying to mean, Plex, torrent and home VPN users shouldn't become masters at networking, especially when the documentation for the tools IS NOT ENOUGH.

  • Only if you have a very old Lemmy instance.
