God. I wish they would stop shagging about with it content stuff (I don’t want their content, ever).
I would like a more logical arrangement of settings, remote setting of user resolutions (eg, please try native!).

Try out Jellyfin! It's an open source Plex replacement that doesn't mess with its users.
I switched a year ago after some dumb monetization change at Plex annoyed me enough and it's just been so much better.
Imagine a product just like Plex, but without all the shit Plex tries to pull all the time!
Do you ever need to access your library remotely or from iOS devices?
That's the one killer app for Plex for me. I can get to my library when I'm on the road (music more than movies or TV).
Does Jellyfin do anything like this? Any other caveats if you've used both?
I'm using a seedbox and I can access it from anywhere, just fine. I'll be honest, I'm not sure about the implementation details, but I'm pretty sure it's done via a reverse proxy like so: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/caddy/

Wow. No idea this existed. I was about to set up a TV tuner with my Plex and pay $4.99 for the ability to broadcast live TV over Plex but see that JellyFin has this feature for free.
THANK YOU!
I like the idea of Jellyfin, but I had a lot of performance issues with Jellyfin and ended up having to switch back to Plex.
What kind of performance issues? I haven't experienced anything like that personally
