Yeah... I've been evaluating moving to Plex or Jellyfin.
Kinda getting done with a lot of this smart stuff. The Monopolies are flexing and I don't enjoy it.
Just do it. I ripped our DVDs and put them on my NAS with minidlna configured, and I can now stream my stuff directly to my TV through the "Photos and Videos" app. My other TV has a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, so if my next TV doesn't support dlna, I'll just do that.
Screw all of these companies and their predatory practices.
