      I got in on a lifetime pass way back in the day before Emby/Jelly and all the servarr stuff existed. Plex the company has thoroughly enshitified it now though with requiring an Internet connection for the family user management. Even with adding the LAN cider in the preferences file it almost never works offline for me. And even if it does every client gets admin so there goes the parental limits.

      I tried Jellyfin but it was constantly trying to transcode content that doesn’t need transcoding in Plex or Emby, so I’ve moved over to Emby.

      Plex is really nice! I saw There’s Something In the Water (2019) there just a couple days ago. I could barely find it anywhere else.
