I find myself commenting three questions on any post about a new application somebody developed.

1. What is your experience in [subject matter of app]?
2. What is your experience in software development?
3. What percentage of the code for this app was written by AI? What percent was written by you?

Personally, I wouldn’t mind if all new app posts were required to answer these questions for their post. It doesn’t discriminate, it just asks them to lay their cards on the table for everyone to see. The community can judge from there.

I’ve got no moral qualms about the way I’m handling things, nor am I judging anybody for the way they handle things. My comment was simply meant to show that not everybody is using Plex for stolen media.

I guess that depends on your definition of “piracy”… is it “breaking the law” or is it “stealing”?

In any case, the point I was making is that some people use Plex with non-stolen media. I mostly see assumptions that it’s only used for stolen media, so I wanted to offer a counter-example.

Not sure if you’re implying that I torrent my media… but just to be clear I don’t torrent.

I won’t make any claims about other users, but I am using Plex for 100% legally obtained media, mostly by means of ripping physical media that I still have on my shelf. So, not everybody is using it for pirated content.

This is not an apples to apples comparison because Nextcloud has security built in… it was designed to be published securely on the internet.

That’s not to say Nextcloud is perfect and without security concerns, but it’s miles ahead of Jellyfin which is Not designed to be published to the web.

Gotcha… Yes, Plexamp does this as well:

Can you explain rolling cache? I’m pretty sure plexamp does this, but maybe I’m misunderstanding what you’re referring to.
