I'm a recent convert to Plex as I decide to permanently live "at sea" when it comes to movies at home. It's an incredible service, especially when I can provide my content to friends and family. The new pricing might seem insane, but once I decided I was "In", it still turns out to be less than four years of subscription.

Have you looked into other options such as Jellyfin? While I am still using Plex, I have jellyfin running in parallel. I like the fact that its open source, and there's plenty of plugins for features, but Plex is superior "out of the box" for now. I found Jellyfin easier to use with sharing my library with family, plus everyone gets offline download. For music I run separate software called Navidrome using the Symphonium app as client on my phone (also compatible with Plex)
