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!

https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/16iqwf4/anyone_else_get_this_plex_notice/ yup people be pissed due to plex’s overzealous stupid attempt and blocking plex share criminals who will migrate providers in minutes…rather than maybe just doing share limits

This is the first time I’ve regretted getting the “lifetime” plan because I have nothing to cancel haha. This is terrible behavior on their part and I hope it financially impacts their company

12 oktober is the last day i use plex

Terrible precedence indeed. What’s next? OVH? I’ve been a legitimate, lifetime Plex Pass user for more than ten years now, and for the past six years I’ve run my personal PMS on a dedicated server hosted by OVH on the East Coast. I’m doing this mostly for latency reasons, since I live on the West C…

What about the people that use Hetzner for bandwidth reasons. Some use it for themselves on Hetzner all because it would be a lot faster for them to host it there, instead of clogging up their own internet.

This is literally me. I have 10mbps upload because of my crappy cable provider and travel regularly. I want to watch my media when I’m on the road

This is…an unfortunate heavy handed approach to screw over a lot of loyal Plex users. Plex clearly just wants to get in the pay for streaming business and is edging out all the loyal customers. I suspect this is the beginning of the end. If I had to guess, I would say all the cloudflare errors toda…

Yep. Me too.

I’m looking at alternative media servers and canceling my plex pass come October.

The family will just have to deal with the change.
