Maybe I’m just bad at setting up Plex, but I have never had its download feature work properly.
But also, the storage is limited on the device, so we always end up with a very small library of media, that’s quickly consumed.
The download feature is always in some state of broken, but it has gotten a lot better over the past couple of years. If you haven't tried it in a year or so, you may have better luck now.
That’s great to hear. It has been around a year since I tried it out.
I still think you should give this one a try. Unless, you're goal is not like having an actual solution, but doing this project as a hobby, and throwing some money at it. Which is also fine, I've done the same before.
Testing one or two of these media severs will cost you some hours of your time. Anything other will take much more time, effort and money.
Your suggestion is “good enough” and what I do now, but as you say, it could be fun to make a little project out of it. Figuring out what works and what doesn’t.
