Jellyfin is more open, while Plex hides a lot of its most poweful features behind paywall. You can run it off a NAS, although running the server on a NAS is not recommend because they cant handle transcoding well. But you can always point the server at your NAS for its libraries

And its all self hosted, so however you get your files works. I prefer torrenting myself 😉

Thanks — dumb question incoming — you torrent (download/stream) as you need/want to watch vs download to storage? Do you use radarr etc etc?

Yeah the newer Synology don’t transcode as well as before if I remember correctly.

I want to ditch ShitFlix so bad.

It’s absolute crap content and they force me to sign in all the time due to vpn.

I usually keep what I download, unless I really dont want to waste the space with it.

My library is on a 4 TB drive which is very full, but it holds an awful lot.

Ive heard a lot of people mention radarr and sonarr, but havent checked them out. I should
