Hey y’all,
First, of course, I’m sorry for my lack of communication. I appreciate everyone’s discussion and resolution of issues, especially Chuck, for hopping in.
As many of you have speculated, just about every team member at Plex and I have been focusing on the new update. That doesn’t mean any of the issues in this thread have been forgotten. The new update has many performance improvements, specifically for playback, that we could not do in the current app. We’re also benefiting from the amount of work all teams are contributing.
That said, we cannot publish more updates like I have done. These updates have been outside the regular beta track, and now I cannot deploy changes quickly without affecting other team members’ work.
The solution to this issue is to bring as many of you as I can to the preview beta so you can test our more frequent builds until we start the beta on the regular track again.
There are limited spots, so I have reached out to some of you specifically. If I have not reached out to you and you want to be added to the preview, DM me so I can fit you in.
Everyone will still be in the betas in the future, but it is not my place to share any timelines. So, we can use the preview beta in the meantime.
We’re not closing this thread as it is still valuable, and I am still tracking some bugs. To manage responses more efficiently, I may reach out to some of you through DMs for specific issues.
Also, dklein has put together this helpful post that tracks some of the issues and features we have already discussed here.
