Look man, I guess this is aimed at the devs, but this is total BS. I’m no purist, I’m no hardcore audiophile, but I recently bought a high end Atmos soundbar and after wasting 3 hours of my life trying to figure out why the “new” Plex app wasn’t playing content in Atmos… seriously what the hell are you lot playing at, I’ll never get that time back. On what conceivable level of sanity would you have a great media player which just did the job, and then release something new… push everyone towards that… only to exclude features that even Windows Films & TV app has???
No, I can’t and shouldn’t go back to the player you told me to migrate from… because if I didn’t have experienced Googling skills which involved excluding thousands of dominant threads from the search results involving Apple TV and Nvidia Shields, I would never have ever found this discussion, how the hell are your customers supposed to find this information? Where was the PSA that said by the way, if you want to actually play audio properly on the high end gear you’ve paid for… don’t do what we’re telling you to do?
Clearly dozens of people before me have kicked off over the past year and it hasn’t made the slightest bit difference so… you do you. Keep at it. You’ve done a great job with this software but just be careful with the stupid decisions, history is littered with examples of what happens when a developer thinks they know best in the face of customer outcries.
