#3I can only comment that their communication on the incident is lacking, I've read about the incident yesterday and only today I received the relevant email. On top, it seems that all of a sudden I started getting marketing emails from them although I had unsubscribred in the past, coincidence?

Or better yet use Jellyfin.

(Or at least related, this submission has the plex.tv website breach notification, not just the text of the email.)

Is Emby somehow related to Plex?
I use Emby, only because a few friends did and recommended it. I'd probably switch ti something more secure and/or open source given the right push.

#7I made an account there to use my Home Assistant as a media server and it's already the second time they reported that they messed up something. I heard you can install VLC on the Apple TV and stream through that, so I'll definitely do that and skip these weird middle companies.

From what I understand they're unrelated and the similarities come from convergent evolution.

I just use infuse or vid hub app and an SMB share.

#10Once I saw Plex required an account even to self-host, it was a no-go for me. Stuff like this is why. (among other reasons, like "why should I go through a 3rd party for something I'm 100% hosting on my own hardware/network")
I've been very happy with Jellyfin FWIW :)
