Watching Netflix, etc is watching TV. You should buy a TV. They’re cheap and great.
I had two TVs(47", not that large) for like 10 years, but rarely anyone in the house ever used them, everyone stares at their smaller screen these days somehow.

How does that sound like buyers remorse? Twice over two years is essentially nothing, and I do the ~10 seconds unpinning like twice a year. It's so close to basically no issues I consider Plex to be perfect for me.
Because if it was actually perfect that's the only feedback you'd give...? > It's so close to basically no issues There are issues. You can keep contradicting yourself by explaining how perfect means there are still problems. I'm enjoying it.
I don't think you understand what I mean. Plex has worked perfectly for two years straight. These 2 issues have taken up less than ~2 minutes of my life. That is equivalent to perfect from my point of view. Stop being unreasonably pedantic about my own words.

Where do people watch TV shows and movies? On their phones? https://youtu.be/wKiIroiCvZ0

Phones and tablets can access windows shares just fine. You just need a file manager that supports it. Regardless, direct playing files from a share, doesn't come close to matching the UX a media server provides. Also, don't expose windows shares to the internet.
> Also, don't expose windows shares to the internet. Is this a problem? I feel like this reputation is 10 years out of date. Personally I use smbd & I am not afraid for it. I'd like to tell Windows users the dame, provided I trust them to disallow all but logged in users.

Whenever I try to ask my wife or friends to use my Plex server, they end up getting confused while navigating to find our locally hosted content. All of this only proves that Plex as a company is trying real hard to push their own content and services and lost the touch of what they originally intended to make as a product in the first place. I am glad I never bought their lifetime pass. Goodbye Plex and hello Jellyfin.

I'm taking your words at face value, you can communicate more clearly but it is your choice to do so.
