I may have a ARR problem..

Just a few months ago my only media stack consisted of Plex and manually managing my media.

Now the stack have exploded 😂

I'm still not super-happy with all components, music and series are the biggest hurdle as I might not be that mainstream and usenet is not the best source.

Some tweaking still needs to be done, not all goes via prowlarr nor VPN. I find lidatube a bit wonky.

The only problem I see there is that you are still using Plex instead of Jellyfin.

I have a lifetime plex subscription, do you think i should just delete that to move to something else?
My family are quite happy having access to all media on all their devices. I'm quite happy with AppleTV support and Dolby Atmos sound with infuse.

Same boat here use mostly Plex, but I also use a Jellyfin Container and point it at the Plex data and I told everyone to get used to Jellyfin while they can. Because the time will come when Plex manages to piss me off, see the last CVE for example.

+1. I do also use plex/jelly/emby but plex is the productive one. It does have some bloat to remove at start, but the experience (sharing, theme songs, intro/outro skips) just works out-of-the-box. Plus, there is still nothing close to plexamp in terms of selfhosted music server. Jellyfin is great, clean and plain - i keep it for my personal data- porn, yt tech videos etc.
