    Definitely not bro. I got a server running the arr suite with download clients and have to buy HDDs to store the content and run maintenance and updates and and and and and. Don’t get me wrong, I am a nerd and love doing that, but I wouldn’t call it “convenient”.

    It’s definitely the case for my wife though 🤣 she only has 2 apps, one to request content, the other to watch it.

      I don’t know, you don’t have to complicate it that much really. For me buying a hard drive every few years and downloading things I, or my brothers and sisters I share Plex with, want to watch really isn’t that complex.

      “Can you get X” “ok Plex is updated” is as difficult as it’s been for me.

        You don’t even have to do that if you use something like Overseerr. You could even have them request media themselves.
