You could always setup a Tdarr instance on another, powerful server (that you don’t have on all the time) that can crunch through everything to make sure it’s the right file type.

I can personally say that downloading works much better for me now. So I’d recommend giving it another shot! I definitely agree that it was terrible and fully supported LTTs stance as of a few months ago, so maybe the Plex team decided to prioritize that…
Are you still having issues with the download feature? It was definitely a disaster at first, but it’s gotten way more reliable and responsive over the past few months it seems.
Edit: I ask because I’ve seen quite a few “fixes” that people have advertised that seemed to work for a bit, and could dig them up for you if you needed.
Personally I don’t really think so. There is a Plex app, you can connect infuse to Plex too, and there are emby and jellyfin apps. Plus, PWAs work fine for overseerr and the like.
It’s definitely seems to have accelerated under Macron in the past few years though…
