I changed my password and then my plex wont open my server. I did a few things that poeple said online and nothing is working nor can I find what I need. I was told to claim my server and when I looked for it, there's no place to past this code from plex. Where do I put it in if there's no place to put it?

>>106532457
works on my machine

>>106532504
good for you, I dunno what to do. I reinstalled my server and I can't get the claim token to work. There's no place to put it.

I am sure your botnet server is on its own vlan with blocking firewall rules right?

this kills the PleXcuck

That shit is 100x more complicated to set up. Not all of us are that overly tech-savvy. Most of us here likely only know how to set up a PC with some add-ons. I wish I were as smart as you guys.

Freetards once again. Free Plex with a local only account can do everything Jellyfin can. Plex pass adds additional features you Jellytards have been waiting on for years.
Even the simple idea of sharing libraries between Jellyfin servers is inconceivable to Jellytards. I've seen a popular forum post about this feature from 2019. Not to mention every single Jellyfin client SUCKS.
Even if I didn't have Plex pass, I would still use Plex for free over this abandonware.

I paid $70 for Plex years ago and it just werks. Do people actually care about paying 70 one time? I'm aware they raised the price. If they went subscription model I would learn the alternatives

Isn't Jellyfin just an install wizard and you're done?
What are you struggling with?

>>106533261
By "sharing libraries between Jellyfin servers" do you mean one interface with files hosted in two locations, or files mirrored between two interfaces?

>>106533262
I thought they scrapped the one-off payment? You're grandfathered in if I recall correctly, but no one new can take that offer.

>>106533329

>>106533261
>first guy
This isn't an option; it's literally not there. I've looked all over for it. Videos have shown me to just put the code in and it wasn't there. Then I did the hostname:32400/claim?token stuff and that didn't work and gave me a 404

>>106533308
When I looked into it was a lot more than just that; it was also basically needing me to set up a lot of little things to even get it to work. I heard it's way better, but so is an extension cord from my neighbor's house vs digging a tunnel and wiring directly into him.

>>106533215
>That shit is 100x more complicated to set up
it takes like, 30 seconds to configure a virtual server and network address translation, then maybe you need a policy allowing inbound from WAN

>When I looked into it was a lot more than just that
Perhaps things have changed. That is the Windows install thoughalbeit, but I can't imagine the Linux one is really that complex if millions of Redditors can get it working.
Was there a specific thing you were struggling with or did it just look like a lot of instructions you didn't want to deal with at the time?

>>106533372
Anything that has me doing a port forward and so on wont work for me. I'm on the guest network. Im not allowed on the other side, I'll get yelled at if I touch it. I've been mostly working with indirect streaming.

>>106533394
I don't completely remember but when I tried to get it to run, I had to pay for something. I'm paying for plex now and all my shit is broken thanks to this stupid bullshit. I was doing just fine till plex had to fuck us all up.

>>106533398

>>106533414
>I had to pay for something
It's hard to say since you don't remember what happened, but it sounds like that might have been Tailscale.
Tailscale is the Plex of Wireguard. Wireguard is free.
You should be able to do a full Jellyfin set up with whatever bells and whistles you like for free (excluding ISP of course.)

>>106533261

Infuse is fine and I'd rather simply pay $12 a year for that than deal with plex

>>106533432
I do remember using this, however, the issue is that Jellyfin was annoying to setup. With my plex, I already hae everything organized the way I want, so I'm just not up to doing it again, but with everything I've seen lately, I may just try Jellyfin again. Honestly, I just dont wanna fool with tailscale cause that means setting up yet another thing. I just want my plex back.

>>106533445
Oh no, I cannot, that's not the issue. The issue is that I'm not allowed by my stepdad. Don't @me about that shit, cause I know I'm an adult and I could be out on my own but for the sake of arguments here, it ain't worth going into.

locally

>>106533262

>The issue is that I'm not allowed by my stepdad
just force your way into the router when he's not home, the default username and password, if not something stupid like admin:admin, will be on the underside of the router
>inb4 he changed the password
Just press the reset button then follow the same steps as above
If he didnt physically secure the router then thats his own retarded fault

Face it plex was good 10 years ago. it has since been coopted by greedy kikes who now have metadata of all your illegal pirating, sharing and packet analysis of your local network. They conveniently get "hacked" twice. Which is code for "we have chosen this corporation and its poor customers for data harvesting for the great benefit of Zion".

MPAA and RIAA jews will come knocking on your door soon fellas.

Emby user here, would've used Jellyfin if their app was directly available from the Tizen store. With what Plex has done of the last couple of years I really don't understand why people still use it.

Based. I switched to Jellyfin months ago. Likewise, I switched to Linux before the Windows update bricking SSDs. The age of paypigs is over, the time of the freechad has come.

I honestly don't know what to tell you. Maybe Plex is actually the right choice for you. From this post and your other posts you seem so helpless that paying for the privilege to download your own files might actually be best in your specific case.
Give Jellyfin a try though. Maybe you're better than you were back then.
By the way, I am saying you should avoid Tailscale, not that you should use it.

>>106533304

>>106533372
Your "solution" with SMB is a hack that can be done for free Plex, too. Again, they are both the same for free tier.

>>106533436
>Infuse is fine
Kys. That's a third party player that just happens to support Jellyfin. Also supports Plex btw.

>>106533469
>>106533496
>Downloads
Nobody uses that. And even then, yo already have the files on your server so just transfer them over. It's still one click.
>Hardware Transcoding
Extremely buggy and shit on Jellyfin. I'd rather pay than use this garbage. Also direct play is better for quality and supported by every device except your 2006 android.
Keep coping Jellytards.

>>106533323
I mean streaming from not your, but someone else's Jellyfin server, with the same Jellyfin account. No, creating a separate account on your friend's Jellyfin server doesn't count. You can do that with free Plex too.

>>106537105
Oh my god shut up retard

i find jelyfin to be very nice and better than plex but it took some adjusting
>had to rename movies and tv shows strictly by how they are in The Movie Database. It kind of sucked because most of my stuff was still named with their torrent conventions and plex usually just worked
>installed anidb plugin for anime, I find it easier than Plex and Hama and Absolute Series Scanner

PLEXSISSIES LOST
KODIGODS WON

>>106532504
We know, I'm on your server too.

>>106530415 (OP)
Ohh no, my passmail email alias has been leaked as well as the hash of my randomly generated password that takes 2 clicks in my password manager to replace. 5 whole seconds of my time, wasted, just like that! These pesky hackers have got me.

>>106537105
You mad ?

>>106537105
Buggy for dumb plebbitors or turdy jeets. I guess you never have to transcode anything above 5gb shitstreet approved yify sdr encodes to watch on your cheap chink hd lcd. No need to cope when I can flawlessly watch 4k dv hdr remux files locally on kodi or jellyfin gpu transcoded on the go thru vpn tunnel. No hooknoses inserted.

You along with 1000s of reddit faggots are coping rn with kikes freely taking your shekels and data. Open wide MPAA will come inside you now.

>>106533684
It's more complicated than you realize

>>106534030
If I can at the very least get my plex to run I'm fine; I've also been reading everything everyone has said too and I agree but I am just so fried and I don't wanna put up with it anymore. If I could remake my server I'd be fine with that. At least I could fix some shit that was broken.

Plex Defence Force ain't sending their best

Is jellyfin better if you got plex lifetime like a decade ago

Not something I'm ever going to need to do personally, but if that's important to you, stick with Plex.

>>106540500
>skip into is a premium feature
For me it's "downloading is a premium feature". You want to do the most basic remote file action possible? They want you to pay up now.
Refreshing to see a Plex user who doesn't have horrendous sunk cost bias btw. Sincerely I hope you can keep enjoying Plex and they don't fuck it up for you you bad.

>>106540738
Yeah I can't see them sabotaging lifetime pass owners. It'd just be too big of a PR hit.

I would struggle to give up plexamp but there's probably something out there to replace it.

>>106530415 (OP)
FUCK ME
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
I'M SO TIRED OF THIS SHIT

I had to re-"claim" my server to have remote access.

I've thought about running Jellyfin but Plex just has the integration. It's available on my TV, gaming PC, Macbook, phone, console, and I can go to a friend's house and most likely have a way to watch my movies on their TV, give them access to my shit on their own account, etc. It's the classic tradeoff between free shit and paying for shit.

I built a media server it grabs everything sorts it works flawlessly requires hardly any maintenance and I don't ever watch anything on it but if it ever went down I'd go crazy

>>106541251
>It's available on my TV, gaming PC, Macbook, phone, console, and I can go to a friend's house and most likely have a way to watch my movies on their TV, give them access to my shit on their own account, etc.
Same as Jellyfin then.
In my opinion the classic tradeoff when it comes to piracy is pay nothing, get everything.
Has someone cracked Plex? Maybe you could just pirate that too.

does nobody on this board run mfa

>>106540448
I'm running plex via snap on my headless Ubuntu server. Not actually sure how to claim it, I forgot I had to do that.

Like what? It does everything I want. So I can enjoy my free piracy for free. You talk about the freetards but I doubt you pay for anything that's on your Plex. BUT YOU PLAY FOR PLEX HAHAHAHAHAHA.

>>106537105
>Desperate seething in reddit spacing style
Man, I love how plextards gets owned on these threads.

I don't see why anyone would use Plex if you didn't get a lifetime pass back when they were cheap, Jellyfin does everything anyone would ever need.

>>106533032
>makes you pay
Look Plex I don't use it but the entire point is they are providing a service so you don't have to port forward and expose yourself or setup some vpn solution.
Retards love it but anyone who isn't a retard doesn't need to pay for that feature.

>>106533261
>sharing libraries
>hey bro send me those files
>yeah here you go bro
Wow

Do I really need to change my password? I just use my plex server locally. And all the files are stored locally. What would I even lose from a hack? Worst case scenario, someone deletes my server and I make a new one in 5 minutes.

what exactly is wrong with just streaming ur pc monitor that has all ur movies on it to your TV anon? why are people building servers?

>>106533215
>That shit is 100x more complicated to set up.

I just never updated Plex and I can still remote stream for free.

>>106542551
>Free
You bought a computer, hard drives, more hard drives for redundancy (right?), more hard drives and another computer for backups (right?). And yet you complain about a one-time fee to get 10x the features, stability and software to seamlessly use the hardware you paid for. I haven't had to touch my Plex server for a few years, and I'm happy.

Fair enough, thanks anon.

Does Plex still not support AMD for transcoding?

Jellyfin fags are proving how poor they are by refusing to acknowledge its inability to handle DoVi, revealing that they don't own any screen made in the last 10 years

>>106550866

>>106551548
The old pricing for the lifetime pass used to be worth it, now I'm shilling Jellyfin to everyone asking me for a media server solution
But... Jellyfin still not having a native TV app without sideloading's a huge deal breaker when you're sharing it with family members and they live far away
If I was consuming media by myself I wouldn't really bother setting up Jellyfin or Plex or whatever
