Now that Plex is dead, where to find servers/what platform? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Just to be clear, I don't support this definition either, its stupid.

Technically often making a copy is not illegal, but breaking DRM is. Unfortunately almost everything comes with DRM so in consequence rippping becomes indirectly illegal. At least in Germany this is the case.

~~I mean if you want to go full technical here, your dvd/bluray player is breaking the DRM as well.~~

Edit: Ignore this, I am a dumbass.

No it is not. Those players usually come with a purchased license to unlock the DRM. If you try and play them on a laptop you need a player software that has the same type of license. Try opening a disc like that on your PC with a freshly installed VLC player, it won't work. There you need to break DRM by adding the famous libraries like libdvdcss and what else they are called.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. My brain is not a good brain.
