i pulled Hulu up to make sure i stayed synced, and the Hulu version quickly pulled ahead of mine. i didn't notice a missing scene but i wasn't paying close attention to the Hulu version.

when Hulu auto-cycled to the next episode, even with outro and intro credits, it brought it back to sync with my version. we're ⅓ through episode two, and Hulu is currently 14 seconds ahead, although we started this episode synced.

None of that really applies to a a private, locally run server. Don't share your plex server with strangers and you're fine.

There are people who have claimed to have been banned for sharing their servers with family and friends. In a lot of cases plex has reversed the bans, to be fair, but not always.

But that underscores the issue with plex: you don’t own the rights to your locally stored media or the ability to stream it using their software. They do, and they can terminate it at any point for violation of copyright. which means literally every user of plex, unless there’s someone out there literally serving just their home videos or something.

Like I said in my original post I don’t think it’s necessarily a “burn it all down” situation. If you’ve paid for plex and/or have your library all set up might as well keep it there until something changes. But if you’re just starting out or you got banned? Jellyfin all the way. At least then you know you’ll always be able to stream your media as long as the hardware works

You can choose not to believe them. Even if they’re lying that doesn’t change the fact that you’re using software that robs you of your freedom. Why are you even on lemmy? Go back to reddit if you’re fine with corporate ownership having the ultimate say in your decisions
