Hi all! I have been using Emby for about a year now, but I was wondering, after the recent botnet debacle with Emby, if I should switch my media provider.

Anyone have experience with all 3? I really only have experience with Emby.

Some things that I’m interested in:

  • Automatic file management is a plus
  • Multiple users on mobile devices
  • Roku apps
  • Jim The VHS Wizard

    I would like to second the issues with Plex. I understand their desire to try and mainstream themselves and have a non-sketchy reason for people to still install them, but at some point it became too much of a mess and I went back to Kodi, which is great but not applicable for your use case

      Plex was my second media server. Serviio was my first, and was just a DLNA service with a few sorting and metadata options. After Plex choked over and over and I kept having to manually fix watch status, I moved fully into Kodi. Never had an issue. If I want to backup the metadata and watch status, it’s a simple process as long as kodi has wrote access to my media library. Not that it helps OP, but it’s all I am looking for.
