Same here. What I want from Plex is simple. What Plex wants from me is complex. I get that part of their funding comes from commissions on things they get you to consume from their partners but I'd much rather pay for a "no extra crap" license, which unfortunately is not what the one thing they do sell, the Plex Pass, does.

I've been happy with Jellyfin. It's entirely open source.

I’m kind of confused by these comments. When I open my plex I only see my local libraries and my Live TV (with my HomeRunHD tuner and antenna)
