I get that. I prefer to use what just works. Plex has for a while been moving towards putting barriers around using it locally. Jellyfin has less polish, but none of the bullshit.

Yeah, I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. Jellyfin makes it hard because, let’s face it, open source doesn’t do UX very well. Plex makes it hard because they’re enshittifying.

And I can’t make my own media server with blackjack and hookers because I’m too busy.
