Indeed, no need to have Plex anymore. Will probably set up a family VPN and we can all stream directly from my harddrives, bandwidth is not an issue anyway.

No need to abandon all the user-friendly aspects of a self-hosted streaming platform. Just use Jellyfin. I switched to it from Plex years ago and have never looked back.

With a shared drive over a vpn connection everyone can choose their own player. No need for a streaming server anymore. Given the mbit bandwidth, a streaming server isn’t needed anymore. Reduces load on server.

Fair enough. If your family are all tech savvy enough that that’s a good solution for them, then congratulations, and I’m jealous.
