“Now”? Try 10 years ago, at the very least.

Out of curiosity, where did you move from Proton?

Unfortunately the preinstalled old clients suck and there is no way for Plex to update them (this is on the TV manufacturers). If you are otherwise happy with your TV, you can get a better client via a HTPC or streaming box (such as nvidia shield or apple tv). Jellyfin clients might work better on those as well, e.g. you would get less transcoding.

Out of curiosity, which Plex client are you using?

That sounds like an awesome idea

This guy was running a three year old version of Plex with a known (and later fixed RCE), and was working for LastPass.

Lot’s of new people joined during/after the reddit shitshow. Naturally, not all of them like it and that’s fine. If anything, I’m surprised there isn’t more churn.

It’s up to you how much you want to pay vs. how much time you are willing to sink into it. A synology is overpriced and underpowered, but you get a nice plug and play solution eith sane defaults. I went with that, fully knowing that price-wise, it’s not optimal. But I don’t enjoy tinkering as much as I used to.
