I bounced around different media servers in the beginning, but never heard of Servio. Not really a Plex evangelist, just really like it. It does bring in metadata automatically and play most every codec unless it’s something really weird. Never have problems with most stuff. I like that it’s pretty much just add media to the server and it automatically takes care of everything else. With others, I would have to manually bring in the artwork, etc. This is pretty much plug and play.
