Plex wants to charge me a subscription fee so I can watch my own movies hosted on my own server, while they sell my data. As a society, we need to stop making software subscription services profitable because they are an offense to decency.

I want to watch movies on my tablet without having to constantly download & delete files on my tiny amount of memory. If anyone has suggestions I'm open to them.

If you want "it just works" then Plex is still the place to go. Jellyfin and Kodi are alternatives, though they are much more hands-on to get working, especially outside the house.

I can live with the drawbacks, the only place I want to watch TV is my own couch (maybe my bed if I'm being a goblin). I got Jellyfin going and it does the one thing I need it to do, so I'm good.

Done. That was pretty easy to set up, with an instructional youtube assist. There were some poor reviews online but all I need it to do is play movies with minimal features, I am a creature of the 90's.
