No, im talking about him running his own server. Not connecting to mine.

Most of the plex enshitification can also just be turned off in the settings. I’ve got all the ad stuff and suggestions off and its just the core plex experience left.

Damn, Jellyfin can swim through land, too.

The point is that you now have another app to manage or learn about just for remote viewing, and the general public can’t and won’t manage something like that. People like us, no problem, its easy, but my dad would never be able to, for example. He can install plex and just log in to an app anywhere to use it though.

Also, dont forget that many households have non-static IP addresses, so now you need more management for that issue (again, easy for us).
