CordCutters is a place for those who have cut the Cable or Satellite TV cord, and want to know what other legal services are available. No piracy talk please, it could get the person posting it in trouble with the authorities and could get the community banned on some servers, so please only talk about products and services that are legal to use.

Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I'm interested in:

Automatic file management is a plus
Multiple users on mobile devices
Roku apps

Plex was my second media server. Serviio was my first, and was just a DLNA service with a few sorting and metadata options. After Plex choked over and over and I kept having to manually fix watch status, I moved fully into Kodi. Never had an issue. If I want to backup the metadata and watch status, it's a simple process as long as kodi has wrote access to my media library. Not that it helps OP, but it's all I am looking for.
