Wait I thought Plex was a program to use like Kodi for your library, it offers streaming as well or something? I’m so behind, but far enough behind I’ve digitized a library of crap that I didn’t assume my file viewer needed a subscription to go with it.
Saw some features like dimming the lights, well my light is literally above my head, if I don’t want it I can reach up. If I don’t want to reach up it’s not worth paying for.

It’s like kodi, but does offer a number of features that either make it better or easier to use than free alternatives.
One of the main things is simplifying streaming outside your local network. But they also do things like auto-subtitles, skip intro, integration with some other streaming services, account management, etc.
That being said, that may not be enough for people to warrant the price.
