End the Streaming Struggle with Plex

Mh are you sure about that? I use emby because I like open source but I despise free stuff (at least when one can afford to pay), and I've seen that their server is definitely release under GPL license? But is paid? https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Afaik I am not sure anymore who forked who but I've seen convos on IRC back then and the issue was solely the fact that emby devs wanted to be paid

Making a project open source doesn't mean you can't close-source it later on and cease distributing updates, like what Emby has done. Jellyfin forked from the last open-source version of Emby that was available under a liberal license.

It is unfortunate they did not just do the paid route and keep it Open Source.
