plex server is good, it's easy to set up and use,and the dlna it provides can be used by the native client in lg tvs.
Unfortunately this move is pointing towards a slippery slope, so: any usable, similar alternatives out there for linux?
- canthonytucci 9y agoKodi - https://kodi.tv https://kodi.tv Edit: kodi is a bit more work to set up but after it is up and tuning it is fine, not as nice as flex by any stretch, but good enough
- dawnerd 9y agoOnly problem with kodi is (as far as I know, been a while since I've used it), you don't get remote streaming with multiple users.
- confounded 9y agoI second Kodi! Emby is a more cloudy Plex alternative which I've considered, but not used.
- pinkythepig 9y agohttps://emby.media/ https://emby.media/ is an open source alternative.
- eltoozero 9y agoKodi né XBMC (XBox Media Center) was the original foundation for Plex, Kodi is still going strong. Plex was forked from Kodi back when it was still XBMC.[0] [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plex_(software) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plex_(software)
- hedora 9y agoI'm beginning to sound like a shill, but I use the thingy that came with my synology. (No affiliation with them -- just a happy user) [edit: should add that synology nas's run linux, and you get root out of the box. The media manager is a big ol' binary blob that's tied to their hardware]
- yegle 9y agoAFAIKT, there's no real alternative if you rely on its mobile sync.
