Plex

Plex is a powerful media server that organizes your personal collection of movies, TV shows, music, and photos. It automatically fetches metadata, artwork, and descriptions, then streams everything to any device with a beautiful, Netflix-like interface. With Plex, your media library becomes your own private streaming service.

Self-hosting Plex means your media stays on your hardware with no monthly fees for basic features. You control the quality, the library, and who has access. No algorithm decides what you see - your collection, your rules. Unlike commercial streaming, your library never loses titles due to licensing changes.
