Hi @Fourthcar

I've been using Plex (paid version) for about 3 years and quite like it.

Pros
For me has been stable and rarely crashes.
Relatively easy to setup.
Can run with multiple devices\TV's.
Has good metadata functionality and editing.
Plays most common video files like mp4, mkv etc.
No ads
Software updated often.

Cons
Supplied content (TV shows and movies) isn't great as it is mostly older stuff and the image quality is mostly substandard.
GUI isn't particularly snazzy looking.
