First launched during the height of Covid, Plex’s Watch Together feature won’t make the cut for the streamer’s revamped mobile and TV apps.

I can confirm jellyfin is great… But I have moved onto burning onto physical Media (BD) to avoid HDD / SSD failure with data loss

Why not both? BD for backup, Jellyfin for convenience.

I have both currently but it’s an HDD so it won’t last forever

That’s what RAID is for. When a disk fails, hopefully you’re fast enough with the replacement so the array never fails.

It’s only a single extern HDd from western digital

Optical disks rot even in perfect storage conditions. There’s no failure proof storage solution easily available.

Yeah disc rot is a problem… But luckily it’s A LOT longer (50-100 years)

This is compared to HDD (6 years) and SSD (10 years)
