The gap is closing but Emby really is the best Plex alternative when WAF is involved.
I had to ask chatgpt what this meant:
> In the context of media home streaming, "WAF" likely stands for "Wife Acceptance Factor."
And I choked on my coffee a bit with laughter. I must be old or something, but did not know of this word and I find it hilarious and so accurate!
Ha, glad you could appreciate it. I picked it up from some people in a diy electronics/home automation Discord, but it was relayed to me as Wife Approval Factor.
