I'm looking to replace Plex for a few reasons, I have issues getting problems fixed, partly due to the fact that when I log into my Terra Master it shows one version of Plex but when I launch the same Plex server from my Roku TV it lists a completely different version of Plex. I'm currently running Plex on a Terra Master. So my current setup is all my computers, laptop & desktop are running Linux. ![]()
