I remember being excited when it first came out, but then as we know capitalism happened and ruined it. Im all jellyfin now. But was plex originally starting out to be a good thing or was it just to trick us into being locked into their service after we all got on it?
I had never seen anyone seriously praising Plex as good until I came to Lemmy. There are so many better tools that are completely FOSS. Hell, the in-built filesharing in most OSs are all you really need. My whole media server just runs off SAMBA. I can access it anywhere from anything.
