Yep, for me Plex is the solution that "just works".
I eventually got annoyed that my 4 subscriptions costing $80/month only having 2-4 of the shows I wanted to watch every month, with the other 1-3 not being available to legally purchase in my country or on yet another service with an even lower hit rate.
Since Plex worked so good for these other shows, even better than my subs (e.g. crunchyroll) I decided to do away with them completely. I kept some like crunchyroll for a bit as a sort of "donation" while I used Plex for the exact same shows available on crunchyroll for the better experience.
Once I found out how little of my "donation" went to the creators of those shows I cancelled that subscription and try to make up for it by buying manga/official merch instead.
