PS5 (or 4 or even 3) is quite a bit more money, but it's also a very capable media device that also happens to play video games.

    Unfortunately the PlayStations are terrible picks if you run your own Plex or Emby. Sony doesn't really open up their app space for the developers to provide client apps

    Years ago, I ran a universal media server that my PS3 interacted with fine. Granted, the UI was a bit clunky (folder and file based) but it worked. I haven't locally hosted any media in a while. Does the PS5 no longer support this type of solution?

    I can't speak toward all the options out there but when I added someone to my emby server and they asked if there was a playstation app, I looked into if one was available. From what I recall finding on the emby forums, Sony was basically just not responding to their expressed interest to make a client app for the platform(s). This applied to PS4/5 though, not 3

    It's not at all a bad option, but the streaming apps don't seem to pay much attention to keeping their console apps updated with support for the latest and best Audio and video formats and codecs etc.
