Also tired of endless streaming subscriptions? Take back control and self-host!
Are you tired of shelling out money for multiple streaming subscriptions every month? It seems like every media company now has its own platform

@stux I don't think Emby is open source any more as suggested on your link, there's no recent updates on their GitHub, I hear they went closer to stop people bypassing the paywall for premium. Still looks a great option, and I'm nit-picking, but wanted to be sure your page was as correct as possible
@Suiseiseki isn't Jellyfin a fork from Emby? Wouldn't there need to have been a complete source available at some point for that? Genuinely interested, no snark intended (but also very tired today so ability to convey that might be impaired..
@wiredfire @Suiseiseki I think it's vice versa (not sure though)
@stux @Suiseiseki ah! Well that could make a lot more sense!
@wiredfire@mstdn.social @stux@mstdn.social @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com From what I can find, the Jellyfin repo states Jellyfin is descended from Emby's 3.5.2 release and ported to the .NET Core framework to enable full cross-platform support.
@Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @wiredfire@mstdn.social As far as I know Emby had some closed source components but was mostly source available in 3.5.2 (version Jellyfin is derived), 3.5.3 was when Emby relicensed. https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/tree/3.5.2.0
