    I’ve been meaning to look into setting up my own home streaming solution like jellyfin or whatever but I’m very lazy. These companies are going to force me off my ass.

        Is Plex not it anymore? I’m not really privy to details but my wife runs a Plex server that we can access from anywhere. It’s free and we each have our own profiles. Even my parents have a profile.

          Plex has made it clear they’re trying to go “legit”, focusing on features like their FAST service for free movies and TV, instead of addressing issues and features for the normal video hoarder user they originally catered to.

          If you have Plex already, and especially if you paid for a lifetime membership, it still works fine. But if you’re new, I wouldn’t recommend it. Emby is also ok, but I’d definitely recommend trying Jellyfin first.

          Plex is just fine now but it’s closed source and has some features locked behind a paywall. I bought a lifetime license long before Jellyfin ever existed so I’m still using it without any issue for the past couple years.

          My shit won’t stay logged in on my server. No reason for it. I’ve Googled my self to death over it.

          Installed jellyfin, works first time, haven’t looked back since.
