Media servers often struggle with playback quality, especially for high-resolution files. A self-hosted solution could focus on smooth, native playback for an optimal viewing experience. Tech-savvy users who value control over their media libraries would pay for better playback quality. Start with basic media playback features and expand with more advanced options. The biggest risk is competing with open-source media server projects.
