Plex

You should check out Jellyfin

Plex is getting shittier by the minute, and this is a good alternative.

    I havent had any issues with Plex so far, so I continue to use it. Ive definitely looked into jellyfin and it doesnt seem painful to swap over, but at the moment there hasnt been a compelling reason to make the switch.

    I put media in my folder, plex scans it by the time I sit on my couch, I click button, show plays. No issues to speak of so far.

    I generally have issues with subtitles. Sometimes they don't work out are out of sync, etc.

    While Plex has moved towards the "free" content, it still does remarkably well with apps on all devices. It also makes user management extremely easy without having to manage yourself. Password resets aren't your problem if you share with others.

    It has its limitations and it's development budget isn't in the self hosting space as much. But for what it is, it's still a good value.
