That makes me MORE annoyed, tbh.

Where should people like me go to if I need help?

Here. Just don’t delete the question after you get your answer.

and is entirely un-reliant on anyone else’s

I’m guessing you coded your own OS that isn’t dependent on updates from repositories you don’t control?

Naturally, I told them to go fuck themselves and installed Jellyfin. And donated 10x what a ‘Plex Pass’ would have cost to the guy that made the Samsung-Tizen-Jellyfin-Installer thingummy. Because, well, fuck Plex.

And then they all clapped.

No, Plex is not self-hosting

Just because you have a poor understanding of what “self-hosting” is, doesn’t make a Plex server running on your own hardware NOT self-hosting.

You don’t control the Netflix server, AT ALL. How is this hard to comprehend?
