Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company * TorrentFreak

Plex has informed users that it will no longer allow servers to be run at a hosting provider where lots of TOS violations occur.

In an email to customers who run Plex servers at the large German hosting company Hetzner, Plex said that access will be blocked next month. It’s not clear if Hetzner is the only hosting company this applies to, but several customers confirmed that they received the same email.

Has anyone here on Lemmy got this notice? Self-hosting is still in the green, but with this precedent who knows what Plex could do later.

    Dump Plex, they already a lot less free than should be tolerated by self hosters.

      Yeah, Jellyfin is really great. I’m sure there are things that Plex does better, but Jellyfin does everything I’ve asked it to.
