Oppenheimer and the resurgence of Blu-ray and DVDs: How to stop your films and music from disappearing::In an era where many films and albums are stored in the cloud, “streaming anxiety” is making people buy more DVDs, records – and even cassette tapes.
Yes to all of that, except for Plex. Use Jellyfin. It’s open source, and most importantly, doesn’t force authentication from proprietary servers that you can’t control. When those auth servers go down, as they’ve been known to do, you can’t stream your media from your own server (unless you want to disable auth, which is a joke).
Always think it’w funny how lemmy users tear you a new hole for mentioning proprietary software instead of (F)OSS but will usually happily recommend Plex in any case (and Arch).
I like jellyfin too as an option. But my parents and relatives and friends do not have jellyfin apps or ease of library sharing via jellyfin.
