Plex has notified some of its users on Thursday to urgently update their media servers due to a recently patched security vulnerability.

The company has yet to assign a CVE-ID to track the flaw and didn't provide additional details regarding the patch, only saying that it impacts Plex Media Server versions 1.41.7.x to 1.42.0.x.

People who bought the lifetime Plex pass, and have a huge group of friends and family already connected to their servers.

    Didn't stop me, either.

    In fact, Jellyseerr is a game changer. Wanna talk about it?

    tldr: searches metadata websites for movies and TV shows, and then adds thing to Jellyfin.

    You can even then tell your *arrrr stack

    https://trash-guides.info/

    to report things that succeed/fail to external services like Telegram.

    What I do find weird is actually searching the Plex server I have access to for media

    Like, I could? But what I like doing is abusing another family members fibre connection to request things for both of us, that then appears in their Jellyfin magically.

    Neat.

    I have no issues with downloading stuff as I usually just download boxsets once a season has finished. All that is manual for me and I have no issues with that side of things. I think Jellyseer honestly wouldn't really help my issues with Jellyfin. Jellyfin has:

    • Poor design (by comparison)
    • Poor/inconsistent UI navigation in certain cases
    • Seemingly no deduplication/combining duplicates
    • Maybe something else I'm missing from Plex

    But since Plex is so bad on my TV, Jellyfin is still better sometimes. 😅

    Yeah I was gonna say, Plex has a terrible UI and is why I stay away from that crap.

    Jellyseerr thou is something even my less than tech savvy peeps I know just punch stuff into and making the Telegram channel make noises. I should really turn those notifications off.
