It used to be that simple: r/plexshares, click any link, join the server, watch all you want.

Well, they really cracked down on that. Plex purged the servers en masse, my server switched to some obscure emby, r/plexshares is closed for good.

I'm in a need of a new server. Where do I even go? What platform is best to sail the seas now? Jellyfin?

P.S. my torrent days are over, thanks. I'm not interested in self-hosting anything either, again, thanks. 10$/month is a reasonable subscription fee for an all-you-can-eat streaming service

"obscure Emby"... You don't get out much, do you.

Emby is a direct competitor to Plex, and its better. It doesn't require and internet connection to work, doesnt force signup, its completely self hosted if you want. The dev is responsive, bugs are fixed quickly.

It does have subscription options if you want, none are required for full functionality.

Emby is not FOSS, but neither is Plex.

Needed a cracked version for Android. I'd pay them 5$ or whatever, but they insisted on a ludicrous subscription. There's a very limited TV support. Web app is glitchy.

We switched from Plex to emby and the difference is night and day.
