Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Unless there's another app with the same name that also happens to be used for media sharing?
Where can I view the show/episode description and metadata in the shared folder? Where are my playlist? Where does it safe my watch progress. How can I filter my collection by genre or other advanced options, like available audio languages? Where does it suggest related show? Where is the API to auto sync my watch history to list sites?
Seriously, if you think a shared folder in the windows explorer can remotely compare to what plex does I have to assume you have never used or even seen the plex interface before.
Literally all that (except getting recommendations) is handled by the media viewer you use to actually watch the videos. I recommend VLC. You seriously put up with ads just for all that basic as fuck shit?
As we say in Germany: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten".
Clearly you have no clue how to do simple networking tasks if you believe Plex to be doing something special, so maybe take your own advice.
I would (and did) use plex even for purely local playback, because of dozens of other of features it offers. It's a full fledged media library, not just a folder and player.
You are the one that is clueless and you're making a fool out of yourself, badly.
