If you haven’t seen it yet, we recently made the announcement that starting July 1, 2026, the price of “Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads)” will increase to $0.00 USD*. There has been a lot of enthusiasm regarding charge backs, and we’re simply blown away by the community’s response.
As we’ve had a high volume of inquiries, I’d ask if you could please wait until I’m off the support email shift to reach out about this issue. I’ve attached our schedule so you’ll know when it is safe to reach out.
Thanks, and happy streaming!
*Example price in USD. Exact pricing in other currencies may vary.
Back when I was a kid zero dollars… Er…pesos at the time… Meant something. It meant you could only go up from there.
Now, with all these CEOs getting in the way between you and a good time, now it means nothing! Whatever! Fine make it 10x as expensive! See if we care!
Solid shitpost!

The art of the deal. Which I’ve read so many times I will negotiate you down to just $200 for one of these licenses

High Fidelity!
I can barely afford to pay attention, now they want 4x as much? Who the fuck can afford 4 * $0 in the current economy?!
That’s $0 USD, that’s like $0CAD plus $0 HST.
Why arr you paying for Jrllyfin?
Unbelievable! I just recently switched to and started paying for Jellyfin Premium+ One Super Unlimited (with Ads) to see if I wanted to pay the lifetime license. I’m moving to JamRudder instead! This is a disgrace!!!
JamRudder
I’m dead
I will wait to buy it at black Thursday.
Does this mean I have to quadruple my donation?
I am not going to say no.
dude I don’t even have $0 and I use Jellyfin tf am I to do?
Don’t trust that other guy. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. I can offer it to you on a payment plan of 24 easy monthly payments of $0.
It’s cool, I bought one for you.
Ngl, you got me there in the first half XD
What a ripoff. I’ll be moving to plex thank you very much.
Same! They only tripled their price! Guess who’s winning now.
I decided to bite the bullet and just pay the price increase. I will be looking for other services to use before I am charged again. Does Windows Media Player work well for you guys?
I was using VLC, but after they converted their cost into a subscription platform of $0 a month I had to move. Was going to use Jellyfin, but now this… Guess I’m gonna have to start putting all my media on film
If you go the film route, consider using 8mm. Even though some people thinks it’s still too experimental i find the file compression to be far superior (one third file size after transcoding my library from VHS -> 8mm film) and they barely burst into flames.
Besides who has movie nights without drinks nearby you can put on the fire?
Make sure you use mixed drinks and not hard liquor as that will not put out fire and make your insurance company really annoying.
I heard on AIM that Winamp is good.
It really
kickswhips the llama’s ass!Whips!?
Listen, for pulling that out of my memories from 20 years ago, I’m pretty happy with it
Sips?
I recall a lot of people commenting how they were really happy with jellyfin after the plex increase
I am really happy with Jellyfin after giving up on Plex, after realizing they really do not care about their customers/users. We have a bug on LG TVs where Plex is incredibly sluggish, both to start up and to navigate. Even moving between elements on a single screen takes like 1.5 seconds.
Been a known bug to the developers for about a decade going by the forums. Devs have responded to this. They won’t respond anymore. They don’t care.
I openly suggested in the forum posts there, that people should move to Jellyfin, and that I was doing the same. Enough is enough. Plex used to be quite performance on my TV.
Jellyfin just flies, with the exact same library access.
Edit: there’s a second bug which they’ve known about forever as well which is that Plex can’t select the correct audio track no matter which one you select. It’ll just pick English always (or perhaps the default/main track or whatever it is in a video container). Jellyfin handles this flawlessly. 👌
Jellyfin just flies
Idk about “flies”, but it’s tolerable. On older TVs it remains clunky, but usable. Also, definitely has it’s share of bugs. But that’s FOSS for you. I’m not going $750 out of pocket for it.
I have a TV from 2019, it surely flies on that. Compared to Plex anyway, with its 1–2s just to move a square outline from one movie poster to another movie poster, same hardware, same library. It’s ridiculous. Jellyfin master race.
Also curious what kind of bugs you are encountering? I haven’t seen any as of yet. Maybe one, where you are sometimes unable to back out of playing media with the remote back button and have to aim-click it with the cursor and middle button. Other than that I haven’t seen anything else.

I’ve got a newer TV from 2021 and it’s great. On an older one from 2015 it surely does not.

Outside the latency, the biggest problem I have is matching shows to their metadata. Anything Disney related (Hocus Pocus, for instance) wants to tie itself to something totally random. Some anime (Frieren) refused to recognize the second season and keeps matching episodes to Season 01 titles/screenshots.
It’s not the end of the world, but it’s annoying and cumbersome. I’ve heard Sonarr/Radarr integration help, but then I’m down a rabbit hole of apps to support apps to support apps.
I just want something seamless and out of the box to organize my digital library, not a second job doing IT work to support a miniature Netflix.
Huh. Guess I’m lucky that I haven’t run into these issues. No latency issues either, but I’m only using it on my local network anyway so I guess I’m gucci because of that fact.
