Did anybody else receive notices about Plex shutting down access to servers hosted with Hetzner? Is anyone else pissed off about that?

Thanks Plex! You`re welcome taking my money and then denying service! I’ll migrate to Jellyfin - like most of your customers. Perfect planning on your end!

[image] chrisc: But our personal media server was always designed and intended for users to host themselves at home for personal user, not in a shared hosting environment. Come on now. You know that’s not true and I can prove it. Let me quote from the Plex Cloud (remember that) welcome email: …

This shouldn’t matter either. I have my own Plex server and my wife has hers. We like different library layouts, settings and collections. I’m not going to buy a second IP address to please Plex. They simply don’t care about their users anymore. They don’t serve the users anymore. They serve a board…

Is this all hetzner or not? Becuase I’ve been using my server with them for around 4 years. It’s not only used for plex and i’m pretty sure i haven’t violated any TOS. I haven’t received any email. Moving servers is out of the question, plex is secondary on it. Am i safe or am i switching software? …

This probably is only affecting the plex resellers who are being the most vocal, now. I would hope, anyway. They cant be that short sighted to block an entire hosting companies IP ranges.

Plex lost their way long ago which is why my Lifetime Plex Pass has sat unused for many years now.

I used to host at hetzner but at the time it was unusable due to how plex worked with it’s streaming protocol. (Not) amusingly almost a decade later I still have issues on the LAN with the latest beta and an appleTV that many insisted was the best client device. I still dont think it’s the entire H…

I also was not aware Hetzner hosted Mac servers, so maybe the tags on this topic are wrong.

The logic used here is incredibly flawed and does not address the root issue. This will be a never-ending wack-a-mole problem, disappointing customers in waves, forever. I regret purchasing a plex pass.

Actually it’s closed source software stapled together with open source code. By definition of closed source makes plex a trade secret software company. I feel you for your frustrations on this all the same. @chrisc @elon did you really drop an entire hosting companies IP ranges?

Its all of Hetnzer from what I can tell. The emails seem to be going out in waves. Also based on chrisc’s response, it sounds like everyone who uses Plex should be hosting from home, otherwise too bad for you
