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.

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.

Listen, for pulling that out of my memories from 20 years ago, I'm pretty happy with it
