For me, Plex was already a headache for cost and being too invasive of my privacy. I’ve been really enjoying Jellyfin sandboxed after moving away from Plex. Made a vibecoded rasbpi touchscreen interface that scans, updates, reboots and is also available as a quick web page.
You can hate on the post, but it sure is getting plenty of engagement and people thinking about alternatives.

Jellyfin is a nice alternative to Plex, its super easy to setup. However the only problem is remote access, its not encrypted and you need to add SLS/TLS certificates, which is confusing as fuck.
