I really really loved Plex, then suddenly my networks internet connection went down, no biggie I thought, I have my collection on Plex. Plex no longer worked offline at all. Not sure if that’s fixed, but I always saw it as a file server with a UI and webplayer.
Plex also doesn’t let me pay for one premium subscription for the server so my family can watch old family guy episodes longer than 30 seconds on a phone. They each have to buy a subscription.
I still use Plex because so much infrastructure investment to get my parents to use it but honesty I’m not sure I’d recommend it anymore.
It seems someone at Plex decided they wanted the project to finally make some serious cash and started removing functions and moved them behind a paywall (like basic analytics of if someone is currently using it or what they have watched) while shoehorning in bizarre not even B-Movies.
