Plex redesigns its app to look more like a streaming service | TechCrunch
> 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.
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 services reskin and copy left Plex though. Otherwise Plex will give them the bonk and report them.
I host a media server of 72TB of classic movies, cancelled TV shows you can’t get on streaming. 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 likey the only use case for this. However I do appreciate it.
For personal use I usually suggest jellyfin.
