Well I already have jellyfin running in a container, just have to figure out how to get mum's TV to work with it I guess

log in on a local IP and not the network name and it's working again. but I'll be moving to jellyfin from now

How is Plex used if you aren't using it to stream your self hosted media? I remember seeing channels and such before. Is all the official stuff licensed content? I can't imagine their offering is very competitive.

    99.9% of the use mine has seen for the past several years has been to stream to my living room TV in the same house. But regardless, what point are you making? It's commercial software. And btw the $85 I paid years ago to use it forever was more than worth it to me.

    Here's a controversial and complex stance, but you may be able to understand it eventually:

    Don't buy it.

    I am a proponent of FOSS too but that doesn't mean anything built for profit is shitty, let alone "cancer".

    Hey, you paid for them to spy on your media, give them their money's worth.

    They've added commercial supported live channels like many other free services but yeah, it's lacking compared to others. Pluto.tv is my go-to if I want to throw something on at a family members house or something like that. Owned by the networks, reasonably short ads, completely free. Too bad they didn't figure that out 10 years ago lol.
