CordCutters is a place for those who have cut the Cable or Satellite TV cord, and want to know what other legal services are available. No piracy talk please, it could get the person posting it in trouble with the authorities and could get the community banned on some servers, so please only talk about products and services that are legal to use.

Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I'm interested in:

Automatic file management is a plus
Multiple users on mobile devices
Roku apps

Plex is easy and works on everything I use it on. Easy enough that my old parents can use it. I know some people are bothered by their recent pivot to try to have some legitmacy but it's trivial to ignore their commercial-subsidized content

or, ya know, use a downloader and save that content just like any other streamer.
