[0.00 --> 2.58] No Brent this week. He's finally left the building. |
[3.16 --> 6.10] I must feel a little like empty nest over there. |
[6.26 --> 9.56] Yeah, a little bit. We do miss our little baby Brent bird. |
[9.74 --> 16.20] Yeah, it's like having a pet Canadian around that cleans up after himself, makes food. |
[16.46 --> 21.16] Mostly, apart from his perennially dirty egg pan that's on the stove. |
[21.54 --> 24.54] Yeah, he'll have that and like a plate and a cup. |
[24.74 --> 27.96] It's impossible to explain to anybody that's never lived with a Brent. |
[27.96 --> 31.22] But the guy eats constantly. |
[31.66 --> 34.86] This is his vegan lifestyle because he doesn't have any serious protein in him. |
[35.10 --> 42.08] But to his credit, and I think you'd agree with me, this bastard can make a meal out of anything. |
[42.38 --> 45.56] Like I'll look in the fridge and I'll be like, we've got nothing to eat. |
[45.68 --> 48.26] And Brent will look up there and go, oh, we've got three days worth of food in here. |
[48.44 --> 51.00] And he'll put a bunch of stuff together that you'd never think would work. |
[51.44 --> 53.54] And it works. That's like his superpower. |
[53.54 --> 58.12] In his honor today, I am drinking a beverage which is new to me. |
[58.22 --> 60.68] This is the Canada Dry Ginger Ale. |
[61.06 --> 62.04] It's actually very tasty. |
[62.40 --> 63.78] Maybe they know what they're doing up there. |
[64.08 --> 68.48] So I know while he was at your place, he was deep diving into Plex. |
[68.98 --> 73.20] And he was also watching some content off of my Plex server while it was still up. |
[73.20 --> 87.08] And kind of ironically, today, as we're starting the show, we look at the headlines and we see Plex has suffered a massive compromise exposing usernames, emails and passwords, Alex. |
[87.08 --> 88.96] Yeah, this is not a good look, is it? |
[89.04 --> 106.72] For an app which is, well, was primarily designed for local media playback to suffer a compromise like this, where they say that yesterday we discovered suspicious activity on one of our databases. |
[106.72 --> 114.18] We immediately began an investigation and it does appear that a third party was able to access a limited subset of data. |
[114.66 --> 119.16] That includes emails, usernames and encrypted passwords. |
[119.96 --> 131.76] Now, what I find interesting about this statement is that there are conflicting reports online as to whether the passwords themselves were encrypted or whether they were just hashed with a salt. |
[131.76 --> 140.68] I think you touched on it there. I think why it stings so much is some of us have been using Plex and some of us have been a lifetime subscriber for a very, very, very long time. |
[141.16 --> 146.52] And it didn't necessarily have all of these hooks into the online Plex backend. |
[146.92 --> 152.94] In fact, I don't even recall it requiring logging into the Plex service to just access my local Plex library. |
[153.12 --> 155.24] I seem to recall that was something that came along later. |
[155.24 --> 158.90] And so they've sort of built and baked in this stuff as time has gone on. |
[159.68 --> 166.80] And it was something that initially started as kind of my off the radar stash of stuff. |
[167.60 --> 170.44] And now it's sort of integrated in with this whole service. |
[170.44 --> 174.72] And now my information's been leaked because, of course, my stuff's in there. |
[175.04 --> 176.06] It really stings. |
[176.06 --> 180.36] We know better, and I think that's going to be the theme of this episode, is that we know better. |
[180.46 --> 186.24] These companies that store our data in the cloud, be it Plex, be it Google, as we will touch on later. |
[187.88 --> 192.12] At some point, that information is going to become public domain. |
[192.12 --> 214.94] And I think no matter whether it's an encrypted library of some description of information, like, say, what's in your password manager, or whether it's a database of hashed password salts, or whatever it may well be, at some point, it is fair to say that that information will end up in the wrong ha... |
[216.44 --> 219.46] You know, it's just a fact of life these days, unfortunately. |
[219.46 --> 237.00] So all of this, and I think, again, this will be a theme of this episode, has me questioning, yet again, why I'm relying on a closed source application which requires third-party authentication outside my LAN to watch a file which is sat in my basement. |
[238.32 --> 248.04] Jellyfin is the obvious choice, but I wondered, do you have any opinions on, I don't want to say Plex versus Jellyfin, but like the ecosystem of the two apps? |
[248.04 --> 256.52] Yeah, this is going to be tricky because maybe you and I, with our set-top boxes, could kind of make anything work. |
[256.76 --> 262.10] But there's also, like, listeners out there who are using Plex because it's built into their smart TV. |
[262.54 --> 263.78] They've got an app for it. |
[264.52 --> 268.08] And that is not necessarily the case with Jellyfin. |
[268.16 --> 272.10] You can get it on Android, you can get it on Apple TV, you can get it on the Roku, a Jellyfin app. |
[272.10 --> 276.48] So I imagine you can also sideload it or get it maybe from the store directly on the Firestick. |
[276.60 --> 277.50] I haven't checked in forever. |
[277.98 --> 278.68] But that's about it. |
[279.30 --> 280.56] That's where it drops off, right? |
[280.72 --> 282.88] And there's a lot of other devices out there. |
[283.40 --> 284.06] That's tricky. |
[284.66 --> 290.04] I know also I hear from the audience a lot there's a UI, you know, a UI gap between Jellyfin and Plex. |
[290.04 --> 301.70] And I also will, I know we're going to hear from people that will say, but hey, you know, Chris, hey, Alex, you could actually, for the most part, use Plex with only local network authentication. |
[302.24 --> 304.52] But here you hit the same issue you have with Jellyfin. |
[305.38 --> 311.48] When you go with only local authentication with Plex, you break about 80% of the Plex clients. |
[311.66 --> 312.64] They just don't work. |
[312.64 --> 320.52] And if you want to test, just disconnect your internet for an afternoon and see what devices in your house will play Plex and which ones won't. |
[320.72 --> 322.02] I think you'll be quite disappointed. |
[322.44 --> 323.08] Yeah, not many. |
[323.38 --> 335.32] And the thing is, like when I was on the plane coming back from England just last week, even my iPad, which I had deliberately cached terabytes worth of media to an external drive, |
[335.32 --> 344.10] decided when I loaded up the Plex app that it was going to sit there and spin for a minute or two, trying to connect, even though there was no network connection. |
[344.78 --> 346.66] And I'm like, what are you doing? |
[346.66 --> 348.88] I just want to play these local files. |
[349.04 --> 350.24] Please let me in. |
[350.92 --> 356.72] And it straws slowly, one by one by one, breaking the camel's back here with Plex. |
