Hello everyone, serious question: Is Plex dead or slowly dying? The app on my previous Samsung Smart TV was really bad, poor performance, really bad UI. Now I switched to a new LG TV.

don’t get me wrong, I definitely agree with you. I think they’ve done a really good job with it but the GUI isn’t nearly as polished.
