Yeah, it was mostly an example I made on the spot. It doesn’t have to be detailed roadmaps, but I think something like an annual blog post about what Plex are working on or what you want to achieve going forwards would be nice. As a server admin I really would like to know what I can expect from Plex for the next year or so.
To use this current thread as an example though:
Last year elan made a post estimating that the solution to the low default stream quality probably was finished at around this time this year. That gave users something to look forwards to, and I’d say that was a good call to give an estimate. I’d also assume that a couple of months ago you probably realized that estimate would not be met. If someone from Plex around, for example, March of this year, made a new post in the thread saying something along the lines of:
“We are making progress on the solution, but it has taken more time than we thought to develop. We estimate that in X months we will have progressed far enough to do a closed beta on the feature. We will let you know when we have more news on the topic”.
And then kept us updated somewhat regularly on progress… I honestly believe that most of us would be understanding if that was the case, and that it would have mitigated most of the current annoyance that the lack of updates have resulted in. Being left in the dark is rather frustrating.
