None of the people I've added as friends ever use Plex. Feels stupid to have that in the UX, and I'm not even sharing what I'm watching with them.
I feel you. I have close to 30 friends on plex, but only like 5 people use it regularly, another 4 sporadically ... and most others either have never watched anything or just like seconds (probably just testing if it worked).
It's not the easiest platform to adopt, especially if you just have an account to connect to a friends library and don't know how to do the inital setup (hiding all the free crap). Most of my regular viewers are family members ... and I setup their homescreen for them.
If this turns out as bad as it seems then I'll probably finally be leaving my lifetime Plex pass behind for jellyfin once it rolls out to the Android TV app.
finally is all I can say
Friendly reminder that Plex didn't even use SSL until about a month after I wrote a POC exploiting login tokens.
Though I'm not sure why an overhaul is considered a bad thing.
In this thread posted by Jesus himself: EleventhHour having a mental breakdown fighting everybody yo explain how Plex is better than everything else.
I don’t even have a take on this, it’s just funny.
It is very funny, but also kind of sad. It's just stupid elitism over what ... the way you host your personal, probably pirated, media? I don't understand why people take it so seriously. It's such a 1st world problem.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
