#plex — Public Fediverse posts

So as of yesterday, 90 days have passed with my entire #homelab in a "single stack" all running atop an M1 mac mini. Under 30 watts total power consumption, 4 VMs and dozens of services in containers. Zero issues.

A Fúria das Feras Atômicas

A Fúria das Feras Atômicas
(The Food of the Gods)

SINOPSE:
O jogador de futebol Morgan viaja para uma ilha remota no Canadá para uma caçada, mas logo descobre que o local esconde um segredo terrível. Uma substância misteriosa que brota do solo, apelidada de “alimento dos deuses”, transformou a fauna local em monstros gigantescos. Vespas do tamanho de urubus, galinhas de dois metros e, principalmente, uma horda de ratos colossais e inteligentes passam a caçar os humanos. Encurralados em uma fazenda, o grupo precisa lutar pela sobrevivência antes que sejam devorados pela nova hierarquia da natureza.

Informações técnicas:
DIREÇÃO: Bert I. Gordon
ROTEIRO: Bert I. Gordon (baseado na obra de H.G. Wells)

DURAÇÃO: 88min
DISTRIBUIÇÃO: Globo Vídeo (Antigo VHS) / Darkflix (Streaming)

Cotação: 7 de 10

Opinião:
A Fúria das Feras Atômicas é um clássico absoluto do cinema de criaturas que marcou a infância de muita gente nas exibições da TV aberta. Bert I. Gordon utiliza aqui todas as suas técnicas de sobreposição e miniaturas para criar os ratos gigantes, o que confere ao filme um charme nostálgico imbatível. Embora hoje os efeitos pareçam datados, a agressividade das cenas — especialmente os ataques dos ratos à casa e ao trailer — ainda consegue passar uma sensação de perigo real e desconforto.

O elenco conta com nomes de peso, como a lendária Ida Lupino e Ralph Meeker, que interpreta o empresário ganancioso que tenta lucrar com a substância mesmo em meio ao caos, um arquétipo clássico desses filmes. A trama segue um ritmo de cerco claustrofóbico na segunda metade, lembrando um pouco a estrutura de A Noite dos Mortos-Vivos, mas trocando os zumbis por roedores famintos. O final é um dos pontos altos, trazendo uma conclusão pessimista e irônica que sugere que o “progresso” humano está fadado a ser consumido pelos seus próprios erros.

Lançado no Brasil pela Globo Vídeo em VHS, o filme é um item essencial para colecionadores e amantes do terror vintage. É uma produção que não pede desculpas por sua premissa absurda e entrega exatamente o que promete: animais gigantes espalhando o terror. Se você gosta de ver a natureza fora de controle e aprecia o esforço dos efeitos pré-computação gráfica, este filme é uma parada obrigatória. Um entretenimento sólido e visceral que continua sendo um dos melhores exemplos de seu subgênero.

Very pleased with the #Plezy #plex client alternative. Still needs work (espcially on the #appletv side) but a very good client. Just what a #selfhost person needs :D

Plex's lifetime price hike https://mintcitylights.com/2026/05/22/plex-price-hike/ #Plex

Plex is tripling its Lifetime Pass price to $750 on July 1, while Jellyfin mocked the move with a satirical $0 “price increase.”

Jellyfin ist der Hammer. Wer von Plex weg will dem sei dazu geraten. Man muss nur die Pfade etwas genauer kennen als bei #Plex aber das bekommt jeder hin. Zur Not eben eine KI bemühen. JF ist wesentlich aufgetäumter hat einige Sachen aber auch nicht. Jellyfin läuft übrigens auch auf Xiaomi TV Sticks...

PLEX Media Server: Lifetime-Variante wird ab Juli dreimal so teuer https://www.computerbase.de/news/apps/plex-media-server-lifetime-variante-wird-ab-juli-dreimal-so-teuer.97483/ #Plex

Ars Technica: Plex’s 200% Lifetime Pass price hike tries forcing users to another subscription. “As of July 1, at 12:01 am UTC—or June 30 at 8:01 pm ET—people seeking access to Plex’s media server features through a one-time purchase will have to pay $750. That’s three times the current price of $250. The new price will not affect current Lifetime Plex Pass holders.”

Just did a write-up talking about why I switched from #Plex to #Jellyfin, and outlining some of the differences between the projects.

Title: Jellyfin Is Looking Better Than Ever

Subtitle: The lifetime Plex subscription fee is about to triple to $750 USD. If you've considered migrating, here's some things you need to know before you jump in.

I was just in a thread on reddit talking about the plex lifetime increases. and how pissed users are. even the ones who already own lifetime passes.

And as i'm responding, moderation deleted the thread. Someone's unhappy at the response.

#plex #plexpass

HOLY FSCK. Did Plex just email me about their new price point for Plex Pass Lifetime? Did they really just up the price from $250 to $750?! SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY?

#plex #plexpass #nope #inflation

Mein #homeserver - ein Raspi 5, 8 GB, mit einer 4 TB SSD - hat Alles in Allem gut 400 € gekostet und darauf läuft #Jellyfin ganz wunderbar. Da fragt man sich schon, ob #Plex mit den 750 $ für die Lifetime Lizenz nicht arg hoch pokert - zumal auch Plex als Firma nicht "lifetime" existieren dürfte.

Plex’s 200% Lifetime Pass price hike tries forcing users to another subscription

Plex says that it has considered getting rid of Lifetime Passes.

@unknownuniverse The workflow I am most proud of on my #n8n handles #Plex webhooks, extracts data and image and sends new movie or tv show announcement to the Telegram chat for my Plex users.

@stefano Wow! It was at the very beginning of the project I think. I paid 75€ ten years ago.
It works well on many systems like NVidia Shield Android TV (client and server) and #FreeBSD of course!
I tried #Jellyfin and it works well too but I still prefer #Plex. I love #Plexamp for listening to music: you can transcode the quality on-the-fly from #FLAC to #Opus to save your data quota on your mobile phone plan.

Lifetime #PlexPass price will increase from $249.99 USD to $799.99 USD 😵
#Plex #PlexMediaServer #Plexamp

I know a lot of people are complaining about #Plex because they increased the price of their lifetime pass.

I’ve been using Plex for the past 14+ years and will continue to do so since every feature I use it for is free anyway :guilded_shrug:

The premium features mean nothing to me. Plex is still great as-is.

I’m glad I spun up a #JellyFin instance alongside my #Plex server. I was lucky enough to purchase a lifetime PlexPass back in the long-ago, but I don’t like the direction the company is headed in. 🤨

“Plex is tripling the cost of its lifetime subscription up to $750, starting July 1”
https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/5/plex-to-raise-lifetime-plex-pass-price-to-749-99-on-july-1-2026/

Wild seeing #Plex implode in slow motion.

Plex ha annunciato che il costo del Lifetime Plex Pass salirà a 750 dollari a partire da luglio. Si tratta di un incremento di 500 dollari rispetto agli attuali 250 dollari. L'azienda giustifica la scelta con la necessità di investire nello sviluppo continuo del software di gestione media. Gli utenti già in possesso del pass non subiranno modifiche alle condizioni. #plex #streaming #tecnologia https://kiro.it/SJLGq

I still miss #plexamp, tho...
#memes #plex #selfhosted

I don't understand why anyone would pay for #Plex when we have Jellyfin and torrents?

"Hey everyone, Today we’re announcing an important pricing update"

*increases price 3x*

Plex is increasing Lifetime Pass to 750$ from July 1st, what the actual fuck lmao.

#plex #movies #movie #tech #technology #android #pc #ios #tv #series #film #streaming

Me levanto con un correo de Plex:

Dear Plex Community,
(...)
The price of a new Lifetime Plex Pass will increase to $749.99 USD* on July 1, 2026, at 12:01 AM UTC.

Lo que me da que pensar varias cosas:

1. La subida de precios de los servicios se puede disparar en un porcentaje abusivo no, lo siguiente. Hace un par de años (quizá 3) estaba a 79$, después lo subieron a 249,99€.
2. Esto no impedirá que Plex saque más suscripciones diferentes (Watch pass me salió a mi el otro día).
3. Si no consiguen la pasta que que quieren, sacarán diferentes suscripciones. No me creo los Lifetime pricing.
4. Es un momento perfecto para reforzar y continuar el viaje musical con Navidrome.

En fin, a seguir investigando, aportando y apostando por lo libre.

@mookie @kurtsh I got mine for 75 bucks waaaaaay back. Still pleased with #plex.

Every time I see people complaining on the #Plex subreddit about their deteriorating exp, which is all the time, and now seeing people complaining abt the ridiculous increase in price of their one-time payment plan (which to my recollection was already increased super recently) - makes me grateful I hadn't decided on paying for Plex to stay on it, but rather migrate away to a #FOSS platform which was #Jellyfin.

I understood people's decision to stay on Plex because it was 'better' than Jellyfin - at least OOTB, but I swear to god the margin wasn't a lot, and now the margin's decreased to almost nothing and in a lot of aspects, Jellyfin IS better, tho it's not without its own issues but that applies to Plex too. Trust me when I say I'm not biased just bcos Jellyfin is FOSS lol, I really am saying the way it is (for me).

The only issues I had (when migrating from Plex) or I'm still having on Jellyfin (that I didn't on Plex):

- Subtitle desync: does happen for certain media/under certain conditions - this is infuriating when it happens, but fortunately, does not happen all the time and can often be worked around

- 'Non-ideal' web UI: easily fixable/customisable using custom CSS you could grab online - applies globally too (i.e. to all users)

- 'Non-ideal' clients: no longer an issue with the plethora of amazing third-party clients we have like #Streamyfin on #iOS/#Android, and #Wholphin on #AndroidTV (the best of all of em, better or at least on par with Plex). I know that this space is still severely lacking on #Apple TV and maybe the more obscure platforms like game consoles but I hope that changes soon enough

- Media files in symlink dirs not being served/discovered: still an issue for me, but likely not an issue/necessary use case to most people. It did work on Plex tho which was nice

- Metadata management: is a little confusing at first compared to Plex which was more PnP, but there are guides out there (including my own) that gets you set up once and you're golden forever

Otherwise, everything else dats straight up better:

- Insaneeeee wealth of custom plugins that's straight up upgrades your Jellyfin server for the freaking better in any aspects you could think of

- Skip intro support in all clients and it just freaking works

- Hardware transcoding support for absolutely free

- Downloads for offline viewing a la #Netflix and such on your mobile clients, for free, and it actually works (unlike Plex). You could even choose the quality, audio, subs etc. to download for your media

- Being able to still access your Jellyfin server and watch content 'online' when there's no internet cos it's completely local - unlike Plex OOTB

- User management is a lot simpler since it's local, with plenty of customisation support like enforcing age rating on media per-user etc.

- Able to login using a randomly generated code from any of your logged in devices - set a 'PIN' even for each 'profile' on your TV a la Netflix

Plenty more, honestly.

I'm happy to have bought my Plex lifetime license years ago, when the price was around $100. Now that's been increased to $750, it seems to be of a high value.

Although... I'm pretty sure that Plex is going to limit the use of these cheaper lifetime licenses. They will find a way to force to "upsell".

For example by limiting the features to the current set of features - not allowing the use of new features, which will be added, soon. :thaenkin:

Thus I'm not sure whether I should be happy about my purchase years ago. Maybe Plex was a mistake :(

(but back then I was frustrated by Jellyfin was well, sooo.... 🤷‍♂️)
