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

Jellyfin or Emby.

What’s plex better at?

Getting people to pay to watch their locally stored media?

It literally says 'remote access'

I think the GUI is more refined and the initial setup a bit easier for casual users. I'm a Jellyfin user, because my online entertainment budget is exactly $0.

Yeah it took me a few hours of research and plugin setup to get feature parity with Plex, and then even so I don't have anything to replace plexamp yet

Not sure how features compare, but finamp exists for jellyfin if you're looking for a jellyfin-music-player-thingy

If I’m not mistaken Emby started to do some sketchy stuff which birthed Jellyfin.
