It’s ridiculous to reply to a thread whose last reply before your rant was over a year ago.

I am new to plex, old to concept… I cannot yet understand why plex is better than playon or kodi. Moreover, it is the quote development, that’s completely ruining software I use daily. Browsers are slower and far more obnoxious than ten years ago. Feature parched, compared with 18 years ago. Updates, break, break, break everything. Maybe one in ten updates are a real improvement. Updates nearly ruined my cell phone, but hacking two batteries together saved it.Firstly, plex is stupid for busting the hundred dollar mark. Most people will shy now. Secondly, simply sell the freaking license, like all other sw, then charge twenty bucks for an upgrade, if by miracle, the developers don’t remove features, bog, or break it in upcoming release. And, by greater miracle, shockingly, add something of real substance - not imagined–worth paying for.
As of now, I think price high enough that I will spend my free hours trying other solutions, like emby. Or write my own.
It is ridiculous that plex costs 3x of the device I wish to buy. The device is both hardware and software. Plex may fix one shortcoming. But may not be only fix. Probably not.
