many features a great though: hardware transcode, skip intro, remote download for trips etc
I've gotten my money's worth and then some. It's a very well supported platform that has kept up with my growing library, including stellar Dolby Vision and atmos support. I've got live television connected and I've got easy access to all my content no matter where my family travels.
Love plex.
However, recent upgrades especially shield TV, they have taken away ability to use external player like VLC. Playing 4k movies on shield 2017 is a struggle with the crap ExoPlayer that you are forced to use. It always transcodes and I got tired of trying to figure out the codecs. VLC on the other hand is a beast and plays anything you throw at it in outstanding quality...it's just isn't as clean as Plex.

Go with Jellyfin.
Plex messes with it every 4 to 6 months so you have to redo the metadata and collection groupings again. Metadata sites drop Plex because they make money from them.
Months ago, Plex informed everybody who has an account that they were "hacked" so they advice everyone to change their passwords. Which btw, is a great time to start pushing their livestream channels that has ad$.
Jellyfin is a whole lot better, you dont have to register with them so your info won't get sold/"hacked".
Jellyfin clients can be installed on android, ios, firetv, even roku!
If you know how to figure out your own ip, you can access your own server remotely. That means you dont have to pay anybody to access your own files.
You'd probably be better off with something like PhotoPrism [photoprism.app] for handling photos. I've never used Plex for photos but that's not really it's main use case and it probably won't work quite as well as something like PhotoPrism that's really designed for it.

You need to run the server on Window, Linus, MAC, or NAS/Docker. FYI.
would it allow me to download the remote content ( not on my server) to my android tablet for trips?
