<edit> log in on a local IP and not the network name and it’s working again. but I’ll be moving to jellyfin from now

    I got fed up one day with Plex because it blocked me from getting to my server from one of my televisions. My LAN’s internet gateway was down and Plex was useless even though all the content was on the local network. I’m sure there’s configuration things or something that I could have changed but in the end I decided I didn’t want to be pressured into buying anything and I didn’t like the constant commercialization of Plex.

    So I installed Jellyfin and never looked back. Yes, it’s missing a few features but you can get around that with nginx so totally worth it not to be harassed.

      There is a dlna server but it has “totally unintentional” memory leaks that cause it to crash after a few days and they refuse to fix.
