My good ol 2+ year Plex server host has been banned again. I have given up on this, I do not have access to an obscure server with few customers that will avoid future bans.

What's the platform of choice moving forward? Need wife-approval factor. Emby and Jellyfin? Where can I source servers? Reddit has made these hard to find and I haven't found a good community here.

Thats not being banned from Plex tho. Maybe just host your server elsewhere.

Yeah just host the server elsewhere. You don't need all the media files to reside on the actual server either, you can just mount the external data using FUSE/rClone or something and cache the most requested data.

Received an email from Plex:

“We're contacting you to let you know about an upcoming action that is likely to affect your Plex Media Server setup. You're receiving this notice because the IP address associated with a Plex Media Server on your account appears to come from a service provider that hosts a significant number of Plex Media Servers that violate our Terms of Service.”

I pay a few Euro a month for access to Plex with a lot of content. That content is hosted on Hetzner
