Honestly, I lowkey hated plex when I was using it. We never used it because it wasn't very good at the one thing it was supposed to be fore.

It was trying so hard to get me to use their media, when what I wanted was to watch my media. By contrast, jellyfin just shows me my media.

If you have a few bucks, the chromecast with android TV is what I'd recommend. The jellyfin app for android TV looks and works great -- as good as any paid streaming service imo. I got my wife using it daily, and she's not a tech person at all.

Had the same Problem and needed to use the htcp client to make it go away.

I thought the topic said "FPS Plex" and then I imagined a streaming service where you could play any first-person shooter instantly

This is why I use emby.

Or you could properly configure your server to recognise local ips
