Streaming service and media software maker Plex on Friday introduced a redesign of its software that puts more emphasis on discovery, easily accessing your watchlist, and other personalization features — including those for home media enthusiasts who still use the app to organize their media libraries.
I host a media server of 72TB of classic movies, cancelled TV shows you can’t get on streaming plus new shows and movies as well. I do this for family and friends who don’t have the patience or know how to run a media server this size. I have a catalog of over 7k movies and 400 TV shows. I am likely the only use case for this. However I do appreciate it.
For someone’s personal use I usually suggest jellyfin.
Oh my lord can we be friends?
But I don’t have any Photos
I thought I had a decent library. I’m sitting at 5tb. I feel like I built a house and you’re over here with a mansion. Lol
There are dozens of us
You too are a never nude?
I didn’t see you at the convention
I was at the analyst/therapist convention this year.
ha, cuz what home users need is better discoverability of their own fucking library.
i hope this put the nail in that shit services coffin
There are numerous dubiously legal (at best) streaming services that serve using Plex.
Why pay for Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount, etc when you can buy one service at lower cost that any of those, have all the big stuff automatically, and request whatever you want, just with a slight delay.
A lot of those sketchy services reskin and copy left Plex though. Otherwise Plex will give them the bonk and report them.
This comment is jaded af
I’ve put a lot of effort into making plex posters that match/have a uniform look for 90% of my library, from what I’ve seen this will make all that useless as they switch to what appears to be fanart only. I don’t necessarily care for that change.
