I cancelled all my content subscriptions and I'm back to torrenting. I barely watch anything made my Netflix regardless. I think either Dark or the 3rd season of Stranger Things was the last time. Snyder's SciFi movie wasn't much good either. By now the streaming services are en route to become as terrible as whatever they were set out to replace. Once one of them started heavily advertising their own productions everywhere inside their apps I would've cancelled any remaining subscription at the latest.

One only has to look at the word of mouth reputation of Plex these days to know what's going on. I'd say more of my circle knows about it than doesn't, and a solid 15% run one or use someone else's, including my non-techie friends.

Shoutout to Jellyfin it's great, but it is not nearly as turnkey, so Plex is clearly the dominant player for folks hosting their own media.

I found Jellyfin was super easy but I came from XBMC/Kodi which was a big struggle.

>>s0rce+iB1
isn't Plex literally an XBMC fork? And Jellyfin a Kodi fork? Something like that.

>>tills1+8i2
Yes, I think Plex was an XBMC fork and Kodi is the new name of XBMC. Jellyfin forked from Emby, I think when it became closed source. I never used Emby. Plex always seemed to cost money in confusing ways and that turned me off. My initial TV just used NFS shares on a unix machine and a Netgear NeoTV box (~2009) but eventually the codec support was too poor so I moved to XBMC on the Shield and then a number of years later to Jellyfin server on Linux with Jellyfin client on the Shield.
