What about TV and big-screen devices?
The initial preview release is focused on the mobile experience for users. We plan to share a similarly updated TV experience soon. Stay tuned!
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.
Thanks for sharing - it’s obviously not filled with all the features yet, like no Picture in Picture, but I like it.
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.
as bad as it seems
Based on anything in particular? General consensus seems pretty positive from folks who have tried it.
Because it's continuing the trend of focusing on live free channel streaming, finding things to watch on other streaming services, social media-esque interactions with other users, and other shit I don't care about.
I just want something that will stream my media from my NAS to whatever I'm trying to watch it on, and do it well.
