Roku users will be hit first.

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

    Jellyfin users, how is the transcoding situation? I have a mix of AV1 and H265 and I need to get smooth playback to my living room Apple TV for families’ sake.

      I can’t speak for client capabilities on Apple devices, but what’s your server hardware? CPU or GPU transcoding?

      I have an AMD GPU in my server and have no issues transcoding AV1 and H265 for my lesser capable clients.

      You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.
