Can't slow down videos I've downloaded to my Plex server. 👍🏽
No, but Plex can. I'd migrate to Jellyfin if you can as Plex started paywalling some of their services.
Never used Plex, but as a proprietary software aren't they just requesting money for functionality and usage of servers/traffic? Isn't it just normal business practice?
If you reach the frequent limitations like X codec is premium only, then yes. Else, no, you’re free to go
As it currently stands, my Plex setup costs me nothing because all I do it stream from my server to my Apple TV. So it works well enough for me.
