So glad I built a PLEX server.

Have a look at Jellyfin, if you haven't. I moved from Plex because of restrictions in HW decoding.

Do you mean hardware encoding, because that's what's paywalled in Plex.

I personally migrated from a Jellyfin ecosystem to a Plex with Lifetime Pass one when building my current server - while both are highly capable media servers, Plex has, by far, the better clients.

Yes, it's been a while since I made the jump, I misremembered. I also found the Jellyfin apps to work better than Plex on my LG TV. Plex was so slow in comparison. Things might have changed since then, though.
