TV apps are typically not as up-to-date since they are 3rd party apps not supported by Plex. The Plex App on Roku works great however.
I have been a PlexPass member for several years, have a huge library, and several users, and have been extremely pleased with Plex. Hope it is around for many more years!!

Not for Android TV obviously, this is pretty up to date.
Serious answer: it died a few years ago. What we are seeing now is just the ongoing decomposition.

Just because you donât agree with the direction Plex is going does not mean that it died. It may have died for you, but the product is alive and working on my side.
Plex is vibrant and working well in most updates.
The more I read the forums the more I realize most issues are a result of the hardware between the chair and keyboard.

@skwor01 Well . . . Unless you consider the complete disregard for core features such pass-through audio being removed from what should be the flagship software (Plex for Windows) . . . I wouldnât call that vibrant.

Plex for Windows is not the flagship product. If you need passthrough, keep using Plex Media Player.

similar to @firestorm213 probably inst the âonlyâ person to prefer the emby interface. You donât prefer it (neither do I), but that doesnât mean he is the only one. Pretty subjective.
Given its cross-platform reach and its current capabilities, at AUD$160 for a lifetime plex plass, Plex represents excellent value-for-money.
yea you were trying to help him out. He lists some very specific, detailed grievances/issues, heâs clearly spent some time using plex and might actually have some valid points at least worth discussing. But nope, you and your 7 months chime right in with:
âPlex is fine, sounds like you need to use something else like emby etcâ.
(lol then you donât like my response and suggest I leave).
sure dude 
donât get me wrong, I definitely agree with you. I think theyâve done a really good job with it but the GUI isnât nearly as polished.
Emby is not bad. I used it quite some time. But it also has its flaws and so everybody has to decide which platform is best suitable for oneâs purpose. And Plex isnât bad either

I have to admit Iâve never looked past Plex until recently when I had access to a huge library. Quite unbelievably there is not a favourite, watchlist or sensible option to tag shows/movies you are interested in. You can easily miss a new seasons episode as it get buried with other shows you may not be interested in. I guess you donât know you need this feature until you doâŠ
This is available on so many other apps and Iâve unfortunately had to jump ship to Emby. I prefer Plex in every other aspect but if it canât manage a large list of media itâs not fit for (my) purpose.
I see this reply a lot in the forums as the go to answer⊠Yes this works fine if you have 4 or 5 shows on the go, say you have 20+. Season X starts in 6 months. In 6 months time if you havenât watched an older episode recently this wonât appear. Itâs fine for things you are kinda in the middle of but youâll miss things in the future. Looking at the forums this is asked repeated times since 2014 but all in separate threads and multiple feature requests. Anyway, this is my reason for currently leaving Plex. When something like this is added Iâll be back.
I feel you may be missing the point a little, which is maybe why the developers keep overlooking this despite requests., on deck is ok but not a proper favorite/watchlist system. There is a reason this is included in other providers such as Emby, Prime etc. Iâve been plex pass for 7 years now, I know how it all works and this is something that does not.
For this to work as you suggest with movies or tv shows you have to start watching them. I guess I could start a movie for a second and stop it or use a pen and paper and write things down that I would like to watch next weekend but thatâs just silly.

I think that sums it up pretty well
A post was split to a new topic: Everyday half the collection goes missing
Can you just clarify here?
Lets say for example you are actively watching 10/25/40 or even 90 shows. One of those shows has a two-year hiatus between one season ending and the next season premiering. Are you thinking (assuming you have watched every previous episode of that show) that shows next season premiere will NOT appear âOn Deckâ when it airs?
That last checkbox caters for this and completely disregards the âWeeks to consider for On Deckâ setting. I have no idea why anyone is referencing this as being relevant.
Probably if you have a huge number of active shows then you will need to increase the default 40 in the screenshot for this to work.
Sorry if Iâm misunderstanding⊠but if in 4 or 10 years they decide to film another season of The Big Bang Theory then it WILL appear on deck even if you have âWeeks to consider on Deckâ set to 1 or 2 weeks. If itâs a season Premiere it really doesnât matter how long ago it is since you watched the last episode.
This assumes youâve watched it already. Iâve tried this with my current server. It only has shows that I watch or intend to watch. The on deck feature will list episodes of shows that Iâve watched other episodes of at some point as Iâve set my weeks to consider to 999. So if I have 40 shows, maybe 20 will appear using the on deck in a horizontal list, this in itself isnât a great interface. It doesnât show how many of a show you need to catch up or binge on.
Scale this up to a server that has thousands of TV shows and you will quickly lose track of the 20 shows you wanted to watch.
It just needs a simple tag/heart/flag that you can assign against a show or movie and then simply add this tag to the standard filter features. Back in the day before Plex when I used opensource stuff Iâd of made the change myself instead of moaning on a forum
