"Buying" media with drm is a mistake.
I buy books from audible sometimes, but I immediately rip the drm out. Use Plex to store your movies and TV shows, it does music ok too now.
Give Jellyfin a try too. I switched to that from Plex after I realised they were trying to charge me money to use hardware transcoding on my own hardware.
Unless your main TV client is a Playstation. Client support is Jellyfin's biggest weakness, and why plex is more popular.
What about DLNA? It works on my 7 years old LG TV.
JF works fine on tons of devices, the ps5 just kind of sucks as a media player.
Yeah, I've heard of jellyfin, but don't really know anything about it... How is it different?
I'm likely to stay with Plex though, because I have 3 friends with Plex servers and we're all sharing content. It's pretty fantastic, when I don't have something, usually one of my friends does have it. If jellyfin doesn't support content sharing, it's a huge no-go, but just convincing my friends to switch over would be pretty challenging.
Im finding a way around this now. Surely there is a way to cast to the PlayStation
Using the web browser, but it's clunky.
Can you please link a good guide on ripping the drm out?
+1 for Libation. Very easy to use.
