I’m an age old plex pass enthusiast and I have to say; despite all the visual upgrades there seems to be a massive feature discrepancy between the Shield TV client and the roku, apple tv, etc… Whether it’s the FF audio issue they can’t seem to target or the fact that clickable actors doesn’t work. …

There is one particular limitation that I find kind of thoughtless, and that’s scrolling through the channel guide on Android TV (which is extremely slow with the regular remote). I made a feature request regarding that here, in case any of you here would like to vote on it. [image] …

I’ve also identified other issues with the Android TV client here. Neither received have any response for more information (logs, etc) from support. [image] BUG: Live TV AC3 dropouts on Android TV, especially near beginning of streams Streaming Devices On an Android TV cl…

One thing folks should remember, though, is that the dev’s are hampered to a certain extent by the hardware they have to deal with with Android TV chipsets. A lot of Android TV units have the cheapest, crappiest processors you can imagine in them. TV don’t sell based on their chipsets so TV makers …

[image] herman_munster: that’s not a bug, it’s just not a feature that has been implemented on the android client yet. It may not be a “bug” but it’s absolutely an issue when other clients (on less powerful platforms) have features enabled that more power platforms don’t. I get it if it’s the…

I completely agree with you but since there’s zero communication how are we supposed to know? Even an explanation to the community of “here’s why a Roku device has features that a device like the Shield doesn’t” would go a long way into generating good will. As it stands now we’re left to wonder wh…

They seem to be already doing this, although not very well for any… [image] Plex for Android Announcements Plex for Android 8.27.2 Available on Google Play and the Amazon App Store . NOTE: We are performing a staged rollout, which means the update may take a d…

Wow. I didn’t realize that! Thanks for pointing it out. It’s good to see that the folks on the dev team at least understand the issue. I’ve seen too many developers who just assume that every device is going to function the same because it’s running the same OS.

@dlrohwer - You originally posted that the devs may be developing to the least common denominator, which I hadn’t considered. If that’s true, I don’t see how the most recent release announcement demonstrates anything hopeful for Shield users. Regardless, I also don’t see why they can’t develop code…

[image] xenogear74: I totally get that you don’t feel plex pass users should feel entitled to any kind of support but things like an issue tracker, responses to items like these, wanting parity of features isn’t that much of an ask. For a lot of us that payment warrants something even if you (an…

[image] TMC: They seem to be already doing this, although not very well for any… what are they already doing? the link you posted to a release announcement doesn’t show anything about what you were replying to. they simply have a separate amazon store link because amazon devices don’t have …
