Plex is a great media streamer, but it's not as good as these free alternatives
Plex is great if you have your own media you wish to stream, as well as the desire to enjoy free and paid content. But what if you wanted the former?
I loved using Plex to stream all my media and had it installed on our primary network-attached storage (NAS) enclosure for years, but the added bloat and introduction of streaming from other sources left a sour taste in my mouth. It's also not completely self-hosted whereby you need to pass through the Plex servers for logging in, etc. Not to mention it's no longer completely free, which is where these two excellent media streaming alternatives come into play. One's local and the other is the Plex replacement.
