Not OP but, my TV has a local api. I connected it to my network so I can control it via home assistant. That can be one reason why. Of course, its also on a VLAN that has no access to the WAN.

I think its possible to do, I just gave up too soon. To get approval from my wife it has to be better than Spotify, and even if I got it to work, it just won't ever be better so I gave up for now.
Pretty much the only way I'll be able to replace it is if it enshittifies a lot more. Like certain record labels dropping out or something along those lines. She wants to use 1 single app for all her music and podcasts and at the moment, that can't be done well. Spotify has to do something dumb to Nerf its value proposition.
I've wanted to replace Spotify for years but have never been able to do it. Everyone here will suggest you just use Jellyfin, but that doesnt solve the discovery problem. My idea was basically using spot-dl to download playlist and add them to my music library. But it would always break after a few days and the metadata was always all messed up.
I mean it all cones down to what features you use. For example, my kids live off smart collections, and in Plex you can pin them right to the home screen, and that experience is unified across TVs and tablets. You can't do that yet in Jellyfin yet.
I would absolutely switch if I didn't have kids though. I already tried. So many complaints and we went back to Plex. One day I will switch though when Plex goes belly up or gets bought its an inevitability.
You actually want a cloudfare tunnel if youre going to do that. It protects your real IP. Hosting a fediverse instance will draw attention to your real IP eventually otherwise.
Everyone here is aware of the irony that the most effective way to degoogle is actually to use a pixel. Its dumb but its the reality.
Does anyone have any recommendations for migrating their Plex library over to Jellyfin? One day I fully expect to migrate over but when I do i want my full watch/listen history to come with me.

I mean imagine migrating to a new server. One of my server has like 30 containers. Now my outage is 3 hours instead of 45 mins.
I'm not complaining, however. It is a free service they are providing.
It sounds like it will keep functioning on fire sticks and tablets.
