Plex was once the go-to media server, but growing restrictions and paywalls are pushing users away. Here's why you should consider switching.

      Bummer… unfortunately, that’s a deal breaker for me to completely drop Plex. Maybe someday.

            I swear every single Plex related thread has the same Jellyfin fanatics coming in. Same energy as “my MIL has trouble with her computer” “just install Linux bro!” comments.

              Still better than the army of Plex fanboys that all claim to have dozens of senior citizens streaming from their Plex server.

      So I don’t get it, I have mine up with a domain without tsilscale… The clients are quite happy wherever. I don’t even see that much “crawling” traffic that goes to the domain, most just hit the server by ip and get a static 401 page that the “default” site is hard coded to give out.
