    Venn diagram of people who understand this specific technicality and people who don’t want to deal with the shitty TV software is almost a circle though.

    I’d rather get a Android box at the very least…, or just HTPC.

      I’m in that Venn diagram but I’m married with kids and the UX of anything but the TV remote and Plex software is a bit much for me to convince the family to learn. And potentially relearn when I find the next great app like jellyfin 😅

      I think there’s another circle with at least significant overlap between those two of family techies who just can’t convince the rest of the family to care.

        My wife and kids found Jellyfin easier to use because it more closely resembles Netflix. Your mileage may vary but I get it, and it’s why I even use a media server over just plugging in a laptop with Kodi.

        Sometimes the best solution is whatever you can get the users to actually use.
