To be fair, Obamacare is called the Affordable Care Act but was nicknamed Obamacare by Republicans trying to disparage it. The LBJ space center was originally the Manned Spacecraft Center and it was renamed by Congress over a decade later. The Bush tax cuts were just called that because he implemented them. Trump however, is blatantly trying to name everything he can because he knows nobody else ever will.

All. I've paid in the past to be able to stream it to my phone while traveling, but now even just that would require a monthly fee to stream from my server to my phone. I might feel differently had I not already paid, but them changing the deal after the fact is why I took the time between announcement and implement GTFO.

Jellyfin does all of that. It's also made sharing my media a lot easier bc with hardware encoding I can limit most streams to 1mb and have them not suck. That's way better than trying to handle 2-3 streams on my 15mbps upload. Everyone is happier... Except people with Samsung TVs that have no client.

It's all the same software base. Plex took it closed source and the project continued as Emby before they took it closed source, and now there's jellyfin. Plex announcing this change prompted me to leapfrog to jellyfin. If they decide to take it closed source, I'll change my quadlets and migrate to whatever the new name is. It'll be a lateral move when it happens instead on a full migration. So it goes.

I'm not about plex charging my Grandma $7/mo to stream tv from my house to hers. I wouldn't do it even if they gave me 6 of those 7. Grandma streams free.
