It's funny that everyone here is expecting airtight security practices, proper vulnerability disclosure and general trustworthiness from an app that's a tiny step above the likes of BitTorrent and PopcornTime.
If true, then this will probably reignite discussions around Plex requiring that you authenticate with their servers when using the service to view content that you're hosting on your own hardware. If anyone is curious, then alternatives like Jellyfin exist. It's a bit different and may not have all the features you need, but it works quite well in my experience.
Plex doesn't require account linking IIRC, it's heavily suggested but you can just access Plex locally without an account.[1] But otherwise I've switched to Infuse[2] since then, it indexes sources reliably on its own (no manual editing though) and saves the entire need for a server if you use it with some cloud storage. Basically replaced my Plex server, with the added bonus of out-of-home streaming without needing…
Being hard of hearing, subtitles are a big deal. I wonder if this is an ADA violation?

Perhaps the most important thing about Jellyfin is that it's open source. I really wish the project received a little bit more love.
I personally wish companies would encrypt email addresses in their database, this would at least help against SQL injection attacks and some others (e.g. attacker has only DB system access and not app server access), so it's more difficult for attackers to aggregate data on me. To me it feels very casual waving away the leak of email addresses and just give the usual "passwords were encrypted". But YMMV.

Has anyone tried any alternatives that have a decent Apple TV client?
I have tried looking a couple times over the last couple years and that is always my blocking point.
Ideally not a third party one, I know Jellyfin has a third party option but it always seems to have issues on my library and needs to update its cache (or something) and my experience with it was not great. Kodi seems like it might have one, but it isn't available through the App Store.
Bonus if it can somehow import my watch history (but not required, that is a minor issue).
As much as I hate Plex and all of the unnecessary features they keep adding, they seem to be the only one with a decent client.

It can also play at being a plex client to provide better playback options than the official plex app.
question: why use Plex over Kodi?
