I would probably still want to use Plex due to its superior interface, despite this shit they are pulling. But Plex on my TV is so UNBELIEVABLY slow. I have a large library, like almost 14 TB and still growing. But there's no reason it should take almost a minute (or more than?) for the first content to show after starting the app.

Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards. It's inexcusable how poorly optimized Plex is.

Not to rain on your parade, but the Plex App on my TV, with a library of almost 40TB also loads in seconds

No rain here. ☀️👍

What TV is that? I have an LG OLED TV from 2019 running WebOS, so that's the version of Plex I am using.

My Plex library loads instantly on my phone and on the web.

I have a Philipps OLED TV from 2019, with Android 9 or smth. But WebOS is a different beast.

Ah okay. Yes, it seems to be indeed. 😅
