My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Plex are banning Hetzner IPs because libraries are hosted there and shared with thousands. I see people are moving to Emby/JellyFin because Plex is trying to become the next Netflix app OS trying to clean up what they see as pirated content

AFAIK it's not about pirated content, but about giving people paid access to one's server, which is against Plex's TOS

And literally how you get yourself in hot water with copyright cops. They're willing to turn a blind eye to pirates who don't profit from their ventures, but the second you get money involved, you're boned.
