Plex in 2025: Is It Still Worth It After 8 Years?
🎬 Plex in 2025: Is It Still Worth It After 8 Years?
After 8 solid years of using Plex as my go-to media server — from a $50 Craigslist PC to a full-blown Unraid setup — I’ve seen the good, the bad, and everything in between. In this video, I walk you through my entire Plex journey: how I started, what I’ve upgraded over time, what’s worked (and what hasn’t), and whether Plex still deserves a spot in your home server setup in 2025.
If you’re thinking about starting with Plex, switching to Jellyfin or Emby, or just curious how it’s holding up after nearly a decade, this video’s for you.
