| 12:39:17 | essasetic | The only thing from Prime that caught my attention was the grand tour |
| 12:39:33 | essasetic | And that's mainly because I was a big Top Gear fan. |
| 12:40:01 |  JustAMan | I think ppl at plex don't care much about users who have lifetime pass - they're just costing plex money to maintain, but don't give new income |
| 12:40:15 | essasetic | Yeah |
| 12:40:22 |  blackclaws | Thats unfortunately true |
| 12:40:29 | essasetic | Emby is seemingly going down the same path as well. |
| 12:40:34 | essasetic | Which is unfortunate. |
| 12:40:56 | JustAMan | I think emby has shut down their lifetime thing for a "lifetime" (up to some major version or whatnot) thing |
| 12:41:00 | JustAMan | didn't they? |
| 12:41:05 | essasetic | I'm not sure |
| 12:41:09 | essasetic | Let me check their website |

| 12:41:43 | essasetic | Nope seems to be still up |
| 12:42:42 |  vfrex | IMO, there will be fewer users to go around for Plex, Emby, JF over time. Media server software rose in the pre-OTT world. The value proposition is diminished now and Plex/Emby will fight over a shrinking pool until they throw in the towel and they turn into proprietary abandonware. |
| 12:43:04 | vfrex | JF becomes the de facto standard and gets the entire user base of both over time |
| 12:44:54 | essasetic | I do believe Jellyfin will set the standard of what's acceptable and what's not in a free media centre. |
| 12:52:37 |  g33kphr33k | Throwing in a pennies worth here: Cable & sat. companies set up to bring multiple channels to you are timed intervals. My cable company (Virgin Media) now have "channels" dedicated to serving you web versions of the likes of Netflix which you still need to subscribe to. Eventually, the set-top boxes will turn in to offering IP streaming services rather than stations, or both. |
| 12:53:22 | g33kphr33k | TV providers need to keep up with the changing market. I can see in the future that JF would have a plug-in that all it does is load Netflix or Prime in to the same window. |
| 12:53:36 | g33kphr33k | Even make it searchable with APIs |
| 12:53:43 | g33kphr33k | from your local JF server |
| 12:53:55 | blackclaws | g33kphr33k: I mean kodi is basically doing this with having plugins for every source |
| 12:54:00 | blackclaws | I use my media through kodi and its plugins |
| 12:54:07 | g33kphr33k | Yarp, agreed |
| 12:54:29 | g33kphr33k | People want one interface to all the services if they can |
| 12:55:08 | g33kphr33k | If JF can keep my personal media and give me access through to other services without the need for me to leave my JF app/server, then I'm going to use it |
| 12:55:26 | g33kphr33k | and that's what people will donate and pay for eventually |
| 12:55:28 | g33kphr33k | ease of use |
| 12:56:18 | vfrex | Seems like a model the smart TV interfaces will ascribe to over time. |
| 13:02:11 | JustAMan | В ответ на @g33kphr33k:matrix.org
ease of use Ain't it what plex is doing? |
