https://jellyfin.org/ Great alternative to Plex!
I paid for a lifetime Plex Pass years and years ago now, I've definitely gotten my money's worth.
That being said, I fully expect more bullshit like this, up to and including ending my "lifetime" pass.
When that comes to pass, I'm so glad Jellyfin will be available for me to use.
I also paid for a lifetime pass and still switched to Jellyfin last year. I find it's quite a bit better than Plex. The UI leaves a bit to be desired, but the performance for me is way better.
I'd suggest giving it a try
Same here, the Plex app was super heavy on a lot of my devices and would slow them to a crawl. Jellyfin is lean and runs well even on my slow smart projector. It does everything I need it to and more. I also got sick of Plex trying to shove their content and rentals and streaming services down my throat. Couldn't be happier with Jellyfin.
