I am looking to basically just transition to a small time, forever on, server to support my growing Plex footprint. I don’t need anything top of the line, and I’ve already crimped my lines to the room.

What’s the most cost effective way to go about this? Figured i would come to the pros.

Thanks!

    There was nothing in the question about jellyfin.

    I’m on the jellyfin side, but you people have to chill, this is becoming Ford vs Chevy in here.

      It’s not so much a question of one vs another. It was asked the most cost effective way to accomplish such.

      Last I knew Plex required an ongoing subscription for some aspects that Jelly has for free, so that consideration is part of cost effectiveness.

      Personally I have Emby simply out of inertia since I bought a lifetime licence before there was a Jellyfin spun off, but didn’t propose that because it would be an unneeded cost.
