Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April (www.plex.tv)

We are also changing how remote playback works for streaming personal media (that is, playback when not on the same local network as the server). The reality is that we need more resources to continue putting forth the best personal media experience, and as a result, we will no longer offer remote playback as a free feature. This—alongside the new Plex Pass pricing—will help provide those resources. This change will apply to the future release of our new Plex experience for mobile and other platforms.

I haven't used Plex myself but Jellyfin doesn't create any kind of meta files in the library folders. If that is true for Plex as well then I don't see why it would be a problem to point them at the same shared library.

My experience is that both Plex and Jellyfin pointed at the same media files causes no issues.

Plex stores its metadata in a special folder, and I’ve got the *arr stack managing the actual media files, so I think I can run them in parallel.

Looks like I’ve got a project for the weekend! Jebediah’s just gonna have to wait to go to Jool.
