Plex has overhauled its apps from the ground up to make them easier to navigate. The teams says it will be able to roll out new features faster as well.
Because it’s continuing the trend of focusing on live free channel streaming, finding things to watch on other streaming services, social media-esque interactions with other users, and other shit I don’t care about.
I just want something that will stream my media from my NAS to whatever I’m trying to watch it on, and do it well.
So, just because they added a few features, you’re not interested in, futures you don’t have to use or even see, you wanna switch to a far inferior alternative? And people are supposed to believe this is a reasonable argument?
If it does the basic things that I want it to do well without being surrounded by the bloat of useless profit-driven features, and it’s FOSS, then it isn’t inferior to me.
The only meaningful update (to me) Plex has had in the past few years has been forcing everyone to switch from using TVDB to their inferior metadata agent.
How is it? ”Bloat”if you never see it and it doesn’t affect you? And if your problem is with capitalism, and that’s why you want something for free instead, then you can just say that. It doesn’t make Plex look less superior an option in features and pick abilities than jelly fin. Jellyfish me “work”, but Plex works a lot better. If that doesn’t interest you, that’s fine. Use what you want.
Like I said in another comment, some people are perfectly happy with a cheap scratchy toilet paper. I am not one of them.
Based on anything in particular? General consensus seems pretty positive from folks who have tried it.
