It's better for my use cases. For starters, I don't have to login every so often for no reason. I don't have my local software break because they updated their server. I also find it much slower.

Picking a tool is a very personal decision, and it depends on one's values and one's use.

I logged in 6 years ago. Since then its just working. Yes, plex. On my appletv

Ditto for me on every one of the ~20 places I've logged in starting in ~2017

Well then I was a one off. It got me (along with how slow it was) to leave. Maybe it was a bug? Maybe I misconfigured it? Maybe it was OS? Who knows? Glad it works for you.

This was using the local web server instance to manage permissions for users, so maybe every time my distro undated the web server software or something. Either way, for my use case it didn't work out of the box. JellyFun did and does. Every tool decision is personal.

Your experience doesn't nullify mine.

Don't you have any privacy concerns with Plex?

They state that they may share/sell certain data to vendors for targeted advertising (even though they offer an "ads" free experience).

They also log Email, username, IP address, device info, usage stats, etc.
