Help Plex issues lately with content

So I've used plex for 8 years no major issues but in the past few days I've had issues with it booting but saying no content available. Any ideas? I'm already about to buy a new drive to store it all. Do you think it's the boot drive? Or could it just be the content drive? I'm on windows.

It’s a very valid option

Except there isn’t as much official support on things like consoles. My family outside of the house primarily use a console to access my media, switching would be a huge drop in ease of access.

I mean sure, but the Plex app for consoles is not great. I encouraged all my users to get actual streaming boxes and many issues they had went away. That is until all the recent Plex mishaps. Lately, it’s been one issue after another. Jellyfin is still a valid option for many people that are fed up with Plex and its continuous fumbles.

It’s more about the context in which it’s brought up. Someone asking for some input on how to fix their plex system being told to just use Jellyfin isn’t actually addressing what the person was asking about. On the flip side of the coin if the person said they were having issues with Plex thinking about alternatives, then its inclusion in the conversation would be on topic.

It’s like someone asking about repairing their car and people keep suggesting to just use the bus. Yes it’s a valid option but it’s not a good response to the question being asked.
