I’m still salty that their last app platform rewrite dropped Watch Together as a supported feature. Server still supports it, browser clients still support it, as well as the older Plex apps if you were prescient enough to turn off automatic app updates and manually keep refusing to update the Plex app.

This is a feature I use multiple times per week with friends who live states away. I can’t believe they just dropped it.

Jellyfin have that feature now working well. Presumably this is the one where if you pause to go to the bathroom it pauses for the other person too and doesn't go out of sync even if one connection has slow internet for example.

Yeah, that was one of features that made me try Plex a long time ago.

And that's why these days, I run Jellyfin on a VPS for watch parties (similar situation as yours), while sticking with Plex for family use.
