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!

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.
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!!!

I’m dead
I will wait to buy it at black Thursday.
Why arr you paying for Jrllyfin?
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
Does this mean I have to quadruple my donation?
I am not going to say no.
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.
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 kicks the llama’s ass!
Whips!?
