The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Use Jellyfin. Stop relying on corps’ services.
Jellyfin is majorly based. I use it with Syncthing for all my media except games
Or Kodi
There’s a Jellyfin plug-in for Kodi and it’s pretty awesome

Just started my switch last weekend! Jellyfin is amazing so far. Just need to figure out how to export all the Plex metadata and posters to .nfo files.
There are surely tools to help, that has to be a common problem
I’ve been searching all over and haven’t found anything yet. The only answer seems to be to directly open up the Plex database in sqllite and navigate the schema myself and figure out how to export the specific tables and fields I want in some usable format. Once I have that, there are tools to generate .nfo files. 
I would if it had most of the features that Plex does.
It does.
It doesn’t work on Samsung TVs, I tried
Can you browse web on your tv? That would work.
I was curious and tried that on my Samsung TV from 2016, it loads a grey background and does nothing
Maybe, I put it into dev mode to install the app, but it seems that it’s not functional in the current version
Oh, I meant browse to the webpage like you would on a computer. Is there not a browser available? I’ve only got dumb tvs, so sorry I can’t be of more help.
You’re inputs broken? Who the fuck cares about TV OS support?
Me with my limited budget
I spent 30 dollars on an orange pi zero 2 and installed android TV on it.
Can you afford 30 dollars? The privacy alone is worth the cost. Those samsung TVs are spyware central.
Sorry I can’t justify that cost
I dont believe you.
Ok.
So it has a dedicated music app?
It has music filtering?
Good 4k/x265 performance?
Has a third party (or built in) utility that shows me streaming usage?
Allows me to limit remote users to streaming from a single IP address at a time?
Let’s me watch something together with another remote user?
Has an app for most any device (like Plex or Emby) that does NOT require sideloading?
Has built in native DVR steaming/recording support?
Low effort response:
Dunno Dunno I think so Some data, yes Yes Yes but it’s jank Yes I believe so
So it doesn’t.
So you lied.
