Roku users will be hit first.

Plex is starting to enforce its new rules, which prevent users from remotely accessing a personal media server without a subscription fee.

    Plex still has the most fully-featured music streaming app (Plexamp)

      There are plenty of good Jellyfin players too. I‘m currently using Discrete and I‘m quite happy with it.

        Unfortunately it looks like that one is for Apple devices, whereas I use Linux on desktop and Android on mobile.

        There’s some, but I haven’t seen any that have the main features Plex and Plexamp have:

        • Cross-fading when playing random tracks, but gapless playback when playing an album in order
        • Analysis of the music using a local neutral network, such that you can tell it to play play “similar” sounding songs to the current one
        • Automatic playlists - liked songs, decades, etc
        • Downloads for offline playback
        • Multiple libraries, for example I keep regular music separate from DJ mixes
        • Equalizer with presets for common headphones

        And probably other things I’m forgetting.
