And this is why I'm setting up Jellyfin. I paid for a lifetime Plex pass a while ago, and I would have been happy to toss them some more money if they had just stuck to the core service (like Nabu Casa/Home Assistant - absolutely worth $7/mo), but nooooooooooooooo Plex decided to spin up their own streaming servers and go down that path instead.
I smell an IPO coming soon.
It was a pain to get up and running, but now that it is i actually prefer it. OSS aside there are things I like, like editions/versions are all kind of merged, more customization of the appearance, more performant. I'm pretty happy. Granted it was months of reorganizing my media for it.
