In an email to customers who run Plex servers at the large German hosting company Hetzner, Plex said that access will be blocked next month. It’s not clear if Hetzner is the only hosting company this applies to, but several customers confirmed that they received the same email.
Has anyone here on Lemmy got this notice? Self-hosting is still in the green, but with this precedent who knows what Plex could do later.
When Jellyfin has Plexamp, I might consider it

I’m not sure how they compare as I am not a music person, but there are a few apps that function as a Jellyfin music player.
Thanks for the link. I’ll check it out.
I actually had to look it up because it sounded like Winamp, but it didn’t kick llama’s ass. Is that what they kept peddling along with Tidal sub?
Honest question, do you not have Prime or Apple music sub or stuff you listen to is so unique, neither of those have it?
By far the best music player I have ever used. My music library is 24K tracks, so I have no need of any music service and use plexamp exclusively.
That sounds like a massive enough collection to never get bored with, but don’t you want new music at least on occasion? Do you just buy individual songs or albums and add to your collection? Do costs add up? I imagine redundant storage with at least some sort of backup for collection that large isn’t cheap.
Just trying to compare it to streaming service I get as part of my $120/year Prime membership.
I probably average a couple of albums a month (I only buy albums unless something is not available as part of an album). My storage is a Synology 920+ with 36Tb it’s just over half full. I hear new music all the time. (But have you listened to new music?). I’m going to see Greta Van Fleet on Friday (I guess that might be considered new’ish) if there’s an opening act, and they’re any good, I’ll buy some of their music.
