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.

    Why don’t you host your own server? You need as much as NUC or Raspberry Pi even combined with a couple of harddisks or SSD’S.

      and an industry grade internet connection if you plan on sharing your library with a few friends. Otherwise, fully agreed

      edit: if you have mostly full HD stuff it might be pretty feasible with regular internet

        A 40mpbs up connection can host quite a few people. I used to have 40 up and i was able to do 4-5 people remotely just fine.

        I have gigabit and my users who have gigabit have no problem watching but those on 300mbps can hit a snag. But I only host remuxes

        Industry grade? Just need fiber with a good upload speed. Not that rare where I am anymore.

              I’m pretty sure they mean upload doesn’t go over 50mbps here. We have pretty easy access to 1gbps download in tons of places, especially cities. But high upload is pretty hard to come by without a business line.

          Best I can get upload-wise where I live is 20mbps, and I’m not even in a rural area.
