Wow, I REALLY don’t like the Plex beta on the Apple TV. 😮‍💨

Update: I don’t like it on iOS either.

My libraries are buried, switching between them sucks, and instead of seek controls on TV episode playback, we get skip controls‽ FOH

Either Plex is not serving me anymore (likely) or this is an extremely early look at something that’s malleable (maybe) or it’s just trash and nobody has told them yet (unlikely).

@caseyliss kind of off topic, but how is the Callsheet and Plex integration supposed to work? Channels is pretty reliable for me, but I’ve never gotten Plex to show up. I was just curious how it’s supposed to work, since typically you have to enter an API key into an app to get it to poll Plex.

@RickWilliams UDP magic.

You have to ensure your Plex **client** has "Advertise as Player" turned on. And then wait a while and cross all fingers and toes.

Channels uses Bonjour. Plex's stuff is so ancient it uses raw multicast UDP and it's hilariously brittle.
