      Yes Plex is 100% legit but for CLOUDRON? IDK I believe this is docker based I have not USED Plex in while because most hosting companies frowned on me uploading my DVDs digitally to their storage...

      IF CAN BRING PLEX OR IT IS POSSIBLE should stop all dev on everything and work on PLEX server side deployment turn key..

      here is good idea if Plex is not do-able

        There are cloudron users with their own server at home / the office / the hoster.

        I honestly don't understand the meaning of this sentence.

            AFAIK, no. Before we package plex, we have to add some support for hardware transcoding for the media apps. @nebulon is working on this for emby/jellyfin. Once we have support in the package in place, it makes sense to package plex.

              @girish that’s great as Plex has the widest „official“ hardware support... https://support.plex.tv/articles/204080173-which-smart-tv-models-are-supported/

                I would love to see Plex in here. Its got the best of Jellyfin and Emby for me. Shareplay from Jellyfin (new) and properly functioning apps for mobile and smart TVs from Emby. And more! And hardware transcoding is a thing now I believe?

                  @avatar1024 Libresonic then? I believe that supports video and audio streaming?

                  @murgero sorry I'm getting back this thread after the war. Seems like Airsonic is the most maintain package and Libresonic is mostly depreciated.

                  More info on here: https://airsonic.github.io/

                  But it seems like it's really more music orientated whereas Plex/Emby/Jellyfin are more for videos.

                    I should tag this topic in my reply as Airsonic got package a while ago? @girish @nebulon has there been any review of it or has it been ditched?

                      @avatar1024 It's waiting for the volume support in the next Cloudron release (see Announcements thread about Cloudron 6). With the volume support, you can mount host paths into apps. This is required to bring in "external media" into apps. Currently, you have to copy over all your media into the app container and this will also be part of the backup, not ideal for media apps.

                        Plex has a install for linux so I do not know why Cloudron could not do it. Seedboxes do it so it has to be able to be done. I want to one up this request.

                          @sh3lsh0ck Plex can definitely can be packaged for Cloudron. Just a matter of time.

                                    @privsec Plex has by far the biggest hardware support, especially on Smart TVs.

                                      @privsec jellyfin doesn't come close to the client support that plex has. Its an okay workaround but plex runs laps around jellyfin 🙂

                                        I don’t disagree, and acknowledge Jellyfin has a ways to go.

                                        But in terms of privacy, it’s the cream de la cream of streaming apps.

                                            @girish - In all reality, is Plex on the radar still? I have everything in Plex and tried (and hated) Emby and Jellyfish.
