Give Jellyfin a try too. I switched to that from Plex after I realised they were trying to charge me money to use hardware transcoding on my own hardware.

Give Jellyfin a try too.

Unless your main TV client is a Playstation. Client support is Jellyfin's biggest weakness, and why plex is more popular.

What about DLNA? It works on my 7 years old LG TV.

JF works fine on tons of devices, the ps5 just kind of sucks as a media player.

Im finding a way around this now. Surely there is a way to cast to the PlayStation

Using the web browser, but it's clunky.

Yeah, I've heard of jellyfin, but don't really know anything about it... How is it different?

I'm likely to stay with Plex though, because I have 3 friends with Plex servers and we're all sharing content. It's pretty fantastic, when I don't have something, usually one of my friends does have it. If jellyfin doesn't support content sharing, it's a huge no-go, but just convincing my friends to switch over would be pretty challenging.
