Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156
Player Version#:8.45
This is a please to the developers: Please stop “fixing” the UI and fix the player. I can’t even watch MASH episodes with h264 mkv and Stereo sound without stuttering on the “New Player”
It being single threaded and unable to play a low res tv show that ended in the 1980’s is unacceptable.
Infact, all the shows it’s struggled with in the last few days have been like that, A Muppet Christmas, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
It’s embarassing, I have a killer setup (HPE DL380 Gen10, AFA zfs z1 volume for the DB, 128GB of RAM, a quadro p2200, 10Gb twinax and gigabit hardline all the way to the client) and a “premium” player that is buffering due to a single threaded job of constantly updating the progress poster. Maybe move that to server side, or do it after the show is exited.
I use plex because it’s easy, but when I’m trying to work and the two year old absolutely has to have his “Shaggy burr” I don’t need him screaming because his show keeps stuttering.
I’ve spent three days working on this and your engineering team needs to refocus priorities.
Oh and I run TWO life time plex passes, have implemented them for my dads own and make others buy them to support you all when I share my library.
The least you could do is make the apple tv player work. At all.
