oh wow I just checked out the Plex shares thing. That’s really cool. Man we’re living in the golden era of piracy. People who are used to old torrenting on PCs or just Netflix are really missing out.

I got what I thought was a pretty powerful Android box but it is kinda slow when loading in-line EPG TV guides for the channels. I’ll look into some of the more powerful ones…

What about Jellyfin or Emby?

I've tried both Jellyfin and Emby (as well as kodi), they're all 2nd rate compared to Plex. Plex is just such a polished experience with very few bugs compared to the other offerings.

Having said that, if you need something that's not built into Plex, there is little you can do to add it, that's where kodi etc shines, they have some massive catalogs of third party add ons.

There are Jellyfin shares and Emby shares too, there should be a relevant subreddit that lists them periodically
