Yeah, been a lifetime Plex pass holder for a long time, it was fun but it still doesn’t support OAuth and now they are forcing ads before local TV streams now. I realize the latter is probably more on the Roku side of the house as my shield hasn’t started doing that yet.
Really live TV is the last thing holding me onto Plex, well that and I really do love Plexamp and the sonic analysis bit Plex can do. Plex’s days are sadly numbered for this selfhoster.
I for example just put together a neat pocketID+Crowdsec+Caddy stack, and via OAuth I can easily manage everything. Every service that integrates with OAuth makes it super simple to create new users automatically with limited scopes, all directly fed by PocketID, allowing me to expose my services to the open web without fear of being hacked (crodsec being the fallback if shit would hit the fan, blocking all the community-sourced known threat actors and suspicious behaviour like port probing, login stuffing, etc.).

What do you need OAuth for? Also I never really used the live TV thing, I pretty much exclusively stream from my or other people’s libraries.
As long as they don’t mess with the lifetime pass and start charging me or my friends for accessing my library, I really have no quarrels with Plex.
Centralised Auth stack for all your services.
