Yay. So I used the "Change Password" stuff and to sign out connected devices and now I seem to have lost access to my local server. I'm guessing it's because of load on their stuff, but it's quite a pain in the butt when I usually use Plex to listen to (my local, legally ripped) music while working.

Perhaps the most important thing about Jellyfin is that it's open source. I really wish the project received a little bit more love.
I also want to bring into light that Jellyfin is not very secure either [1], its sadly not in a great place to replace Plex still. 1: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/5415
It might not be in a great place now, but I'm not sure that's necessarily a reflection of the product

When you sign out connected devices it disconnects everything, including your server. You will need to sign your server back in.

Are there alternatives with smart tv apps?
Jellyfin has an official app for Roku but I am not sure about other platforms like webOS.

That's the problem... I've signed into my server directly (local URL) and it's still not happening. I sign in successfully, my server is listed in the left pane, but when clicking it I'm informed I don't have access. I can't even get into its settings.
Not sure if that helps you, but hopefully it's a temporary issue for you.

Mine worked fine with that checkbox on. However, I cannot get my home server to appear again, even after getting a new claim and restarting it.
This is exactly what I had happen as well. I'm going to give it some time. I also even went through these steps ( https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-o... ) without success.
After removing the attribute entirely it was able to successfully reclaim the server.

It appears the password change works fine if you deselect the "Sign out connected devices" box. [1] [1] https://twitter.com/troyhunt/status/1562329358282285057

That's true, but I hate transcoding anyway so I just get HEVC when possible and play natively on Apple TV and co. (not casting).
Since you have an AppleTV, what is the advantage to you of using Plex instead of just an iTunes instance with Home Sharing turned on? Do you have non-Apple devices you're trying to stream to, or something else? I tried Plex years ago, and it wasn't to my liking because it was philosophically like Windows (Load the filename up with show information and constantly ping the internet for matches) instead of macOS (Metada…
If you're purchasing everything through iTunes (do people still purchase stuff through whatever is "iTunes" now? I guess I don't know that either) I assume its handling transcoding/different device playback and delivering all the metadata for you.
Also once Plex pulls metadata down you're right that it doesn't store it with the file but AFAIK its not constantly hitting the net to pull that info down - it keeps a local cache.
I will say at this point - I wouldn't bother switching to Plex and look for an alternative like Infuse. The company is clearly under pressure to monetize beyond the Plexpass subscription you can buy. They've been steadily adding crap no one wants and automatically jamming it into the home screen of the app where you then have to go turn it off. Its just a matter of time before they cross a line somewhere and people jump ship. When that happens I imagine some of the open source alternatives (Jellyfin) will see a huge influx of development. I haven't switched just because I don't want to be hassled with figuring out a new system.
