Plex lost their best users by missing the point of self hosting entirely. Nobody wants to deal with third party downtime, even if it is rare and intermittent.

I think most products go through phases like this. Plex has some diehards that have stuck around (I think it's just buyers remorse for the Plex pass) but I think they are at a 5th or 6th tier of "customer" at this point, seeing the continuous churn spiral they are fighting.

I started using plex when my synology nas stopped supporting smb1 and Sonos doesn’t support anything newer.

Do any of the competing solutions work with Sonos and have iOS and webOS (LG TV) apps?

Any Subsonic music server works well with this: https://github.com/simojenki/bonob
