You know what would be really cool? Plex, but federated and open source.
I like that Plex lets users bring their own media servers/libraries to share with friends all with a single account. Except it’s a centralized platform and as the last year has shown, their for-profit interests push development of their first party streaming channels and the media server side has suffered.
I want to see something truly democratize that experience. Let friends connect together from their own servers and have the experience of a single super library. One viewing/browsing experience, and no matter which friend has that movie or tv show episode you can seamlessly watch it.
