…on the good things and ruin it for everyone. How would one go about letting people know, in a responsible manner.

Hypothetically.

Speaking of ruining it for everyone… Paid Plex shares do exactly that for those of us using Plex for friends and family.

I am genuinely confused and do not understand what a paid plex share is and how it ruins things for everyone. Would you be able to elaborate? I’m a jellyfin user and haven’t really messed too much with Plex. I’m curious if allowing screening of your personal collection to strangers on the internet is considered piracy?

A paid plex share is a plex server that someone is running + selling access too.

This is against plex’ terms, gets plex accounts banned; and in some cases, Plex (co) has taken rather drastic action by blocking entire VPS providers from reaching plex.tv; thus plex server software no longer functions on those VPS’s at all.

Naturally, people selling shares want to maximize profit, so they use VPS providers on the cheaper end; resulting in cheaper VPS solutions being blocked for everyone.

Why is that the fault of those selling Plex shares? That’s the fault of Plex for taking that drastic action, and even having the power to disable access to their software which is self hosted on a VPS.

This sub is very anti paid-piracy. There’s a plexshares i believe but not very active. Lemmy is the perfect place to post these kinds of things.

I don’t think anyone is against paying to watch a decent quality sports stream without popups and any additional ads. I won’t give the nfl $100/mo but I’ll pay $50/yr for some pirated setup

I guess I’d ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I’d love to share it with more people

Yes pls. Would love to try Plex share, always have trouble setting it up. Feel free to DM me.

To answer your question, its hard to read online people, I guess go through their history comments / posts and select a few and DM. 🤷
