You could expose your library with a plex service. Now you can play it anywhere using any plex client. You could host a web client anywhere and have it play files from your local plex service (as long as the plex service is exposed to the internet)


Plex is great, but not quite what I'm looking for. Ideally I'd like my entire collection to be synchronized and available locally on any device I use, and I'd like to be able to access the local collection through a web app (and have the web app be the thing that performs the sync'ing) without having to stream it from a remote source when the entire collection is sitting right there in my device's filesystem.

All of that is very achievable, except the "web app" part. I think it might be about time for me to just give up on that pipe dream and start building an Electron and/or React Native app instead.
