Plex-heads do you pre-roll?

This is a total observation from a power lurker in IT for 30 yrs.

You should start a YouTube channel. A good bit of your topics have merit but the audience here is low key retarded and it feels like a labor of love for you. I think it’s getting lost in ether.

TLDR: I read your posts and find them engaging. I would comment on YouTube and won’t here.

On to your post. I am leaning towards jellyfin due to plex’s obvious attack on its customers lately. So I’m switching everything to that currently.

And still haven’t discovered Jelly?

It's fun

They're all randomized so you never know what you're going to get before a movie starts.

I like not knowing. A couple of them are 30 seconds long or more but most are under 10.

i have red banner warnings for certain movies to warn people how messed up they are. So kinda a preroll.

No, and I hate that your server does that shite. Thanks for the share, though.

I don't know if you understand the term, 'customer'.

A 'customer' purchases something of value. I purchased a Plex Pass last decade. I'm a 'customer'. People who don't pay for a service are not 'customers'.They are 'potential customers'.



Just to be clear about who Plex is supposedly attacking.

Used to do this back in my XBMC/Kodi days. Couldn't get the rest of the house to buy in.

I don't get it, i have lifetime plexpass so everyone can hit my server for free. What are people complaining about?

I have the same. Plex, however, has a new policy that if someone wants to stream in from their own or someone else's Plex server they need a monthly fee-based subscription or annual pass or lifetime plex pass. However, if the server owner in that chain has a Plex Pass account, those users the owner invites in do not need a subscription.

I use to have it set up to run a couple trailers. I think plex had a way to do it natively but I can’t remember. But my attention span isn’t as long as it used to be.

<--- @live.com if you want me to zip up the ones I have and host them on box or something.

I've done the hard work all you have to do is cut and paste mostly.
