I use the free version of plex. Only pain in the ass is having to pay the ~$5 to authorize for a new android device to use the app.
It does everything I need to watch my...personal home videos.
I'm sure I could use a completely FOSS setup, but plex is convenient especially paired with...other services.
- Hitton 7y agoIf you want completely FOSS setup, check out Jellyfin [0], it keeps steadily improving. [0]: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin
- LeoNatan25 7y agoInteresting, thanks for sharing!
- stock_toaster 7y agoIs jellyfin any good yet? Last time I looked they didn't really have much for client apps yet.
- awill 7y agoIt is not ready yet. I hope it one day can compete with Plex, but I wonder if a community OSS project like this will take off and create high quality native apps per platform.
- stock_toaster 7y agoThanks for the update. I'll keep my eye on it though -- maybe it will get there eventually.
- basch 7y agoisnt that sort of Plex? It came from a political fork of XBMC for OS X. Some of plex is still open source, despite it having no XBMC/Kodi code anymore.
- emptysongglass 7y agoNot ready yet. Buffer interruptions are constant and the metadata scraper often tells you you have 7 seasons of the same Star Trek: TNG (for example) episode.
