Netflix is cable now. And cable is expensive.

Switched to a self hosted plex server on a dedicated Nas. Miss me with their bullshit. Even with all that I barely need to pirate anything from Netflix.

Did that. And then switched to Jellyfin because plex kept on asking for money for specific features. Couldn’t be happier with jellyfin.

I fell into the lifetime Plex pass special bandwagon. For the wife, family and mates Plex is the least abrasive solution; not that I like it - but I do like being less of a software / tech janitor.

I should really spin up another Jellyfin container and give it another run.

Jellyfin is more private but you miss out on the live tv stuff

I had jellyfin for a while it just kept having little glitches especially on transcodes so I just paid the money for plex and it genuinely is way better. Especially just sharing access to my family via Gmail login has been a godsend for less tech savy family.

I disabled the live TV. I download all the TV I want I can't imagine using their ad riddled live TV lol.
