Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

    I dunno what you were doing wrong, but Jellyfin is a strong alternative to Plex that has feature parity. The only reason to use Plex over Jellyfin is if you want the streaming channels Plex has. Especially since many of the features Plex has are locked behind a paywall, whereas on Jellyfin they are free.

      I use consoles because I have kids. Ps5 doesn’t have jellyfin but does have plex in its store.

        This is a big part of the problem. You can use Plex on PlayStation, xbox, Roku, apple tv, iPhone, android, etc…

        The apps are ubiquitous, the coverage is complete. In just about any situation, Plex is a workable option.
