I've got my RPi Jellyfin server up and running and it works flawlessly on Apple TV/iPad/iPhone.
It’s such a great solution because Rpi are cheap and only use 6W of energy going full tilt.
I run it off the same mini router UPS as my 4G router.

I use Swiftfin as the client and Vidhub is another good free app.
It’s awesome, remembers all my play positions and serves it up in such a nice interface.

Also look at oracle cloud, to host a free plex server (4 cores,24GB RAM).

Still the cheapest option to run plex!

You mean the plex server is free or the oracle account is free? How?

Do you want a free VPS? - Always free - from Oracle

So I'm just about to get this up and started. I'm sharing the basic tutorial here and how you could sign up. A small temporary fee of 1EUR is charged to verify the account, but it gets paid back. The system is always free, until you decide to upgrade...

Any video player peeps use on Android? Needs to connect to Plex and have playback speed controls.

At this point I might have to write my own app to do this .

Edit : And not VLC!

Kodi with Plex addon? Or bypass Plex completely and just use Stremio.

Is that like Plex/Jellyfin and why is it Android only?

Yes but you don’t need a server and keep it online. Apple’s walled garden doesn’t allow piracy apps.

I need an Android app for my Plex server. Not additional apps that won't work with it kind sir.

Let me give Kodi another look, haven't seen what it looks like on Mobile for a few years

VidHub for Apple (iOS/iPadOS/TvOS). https://okaapps.com/product/1659622164

It can connect to Emby, Jellyfin, Plex
Also: Local Folders, SMB, WebDAV and some cloud drives: Aliyun, Baidu Netdisk, Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, Premiumize and some I've definitely NOT heard of before.
