The one nice thing about Plex is I now have a few friends sharing their libraries with me over the internet. I don't care about "album art" type stuff I don't download/store/play hollywood movies or music, so those features would be irrelevant even if I cared about them in general. Furthermore, I could never figure out why any of it was preferable to simply having a media player read files from a network store and play them. It's been awhile, but I have tried a number of approaches (including Plex server on OS X) and none of them were satisfactory.

I've also tried running Plex server on my Win7 HTPC with the volume mounted over CIFS, but I had various issues with that for one, having to reindex the volume means I have to either wait 15 minutes to watch something I just procured, or manually login and force a refresh which is annoying when I just want to browse files. The issues I had were that, first of all, Plex server wouldn't run on my ARM-based Synology, and then later, I think there was a build for it, but it didn't have the horsepower to transcode, and it seems like it ALWAYS wanted to transcode things. So what OSes are you talking about? Linux? Android? My TV also has at its disposal Xbox (OK but not great), PS4 (pretty shit), iOS (Apple TV, pretty shit), and Nintendo Switch (has no TV computer features at all, basically). It's been 2 months and I saw the new Mac Mini and despite the 200%+ markup on storage I couldn't help but think Hmmm.

They can't play high-bitrate video without stuttering (on way better hardware), they show some ungodly mishmash of scaled UI and tiny unreadable UI on a 4K TV, for each player you install (about 10, so far, for me) you have to google for an hour to make sure they aren't malware (and of course almost all of them nominally are, trying to install all sorts of insane adware shit during the install phase, although that is par for the course on Windows). 100% of Windows media players are garbage (VLC included, and there is no Movist). I was astonished, actually I had assumed Windows would be better than macOS as a TV computer, other than integration with Apple services (Apple Music, my kids photos as screensaver). and, surprisingly, it's a complete and utter shitshow.

What OSes are better for a "Home Theater" TV computer? That's a serious question I recently replaced a creaking old Mac Mini (that couldn't do 4K) with a new Dell, after going a little bicurious with respect to Windows 10 (for software development work).
