      Plex is really nice! I saw There’s Something In the Water (2019) there just a couple days ago. I could barely find it anywhere else.

      I got in on a lifetime pass way back in the day before Emby/Jelly and all the servarr stuff existed. Plex the company has thoroughly enshitified it now though with requiring an Internet connection for the family user management. Even with adding the LAN cider in the preferences file it almost never works offline for me. And even if it does every client gets admin so there goes the parental limits.

      I tried Jellyfin but it was constantly trying to transcode content that doesn’t need transcoding in Plex or Emby, so I’ve moved over to Emby.

    the seas aside, if you’re signed up to a bunch of different services, you can use scrapers to source them from from the legal sites easily on one platform. I wish more apps did this… syncler used to but I think thats a dead project.

    Serious answer: Shudder. I love all the silly indie horror movies that I’d otherwise never hear about and would frankly never go through the trouble of uploading to my server for watching on Plex. Great fun whenever I have company over or just feel lazy one night and want to watch something mindless.
