    I installed via their .deb repo. Pretty easy to see and roll back server versions that way.

    But remember a lot of their client apps are just a launcher and they download the client every time you open it. Eventually they can force you to upgrade.

        the server is what you need to roll back. The part that runs on a big computer.
        apk is the client on your phone. It’s probably done at a newer version.
        Are you logging into someone else’s server?

    Install jellyfin.

    /annoyed I paid for a lifetime membership and still couldn’t invite household members without paying for their licenses too, with plex. I kinda got it working local only but it was still crappy compared to jellyfin, where accounts work exactly as I expect them to, for a server I maintain fully.

      Invite your users to your Plex Home and they would be able to use the majority of Plex Pass features…

          please explain, I haven’t seen anything specifically mentioned that Plex Home will change.

          Yes, you will need Plex Pass for remote streaming at the end of the month (only as admin for all of your users or every user needs Plex Pass or that new “watch” thingy).

        I did. iirc they couldn’t download media to watch during a trip or remotely stream. It was also cumbersome to make full external accounts.
