Still waiting for them to improve playlists/collections, been wanting the ability to continue watching content from a playlist without having to go into that playlist, they’ve given us a workaround to tracking progress with smart playlists/collections, but that relies on the “unwatched” filter, I would still prefer a way to track my actual progress in a playlist and be capable of continuing that progress from on-deck/continue watching, requests for this particular feature have went as far back as 2015, with multiple users since then making the same feature request, including myself.
As an Irate user I understand they’re a business and they need to make money, I also understand that their go to is to add new features that they think will attract new users which I assume constantly improving the UI design is part of that, which is fine, I like the new UI.
But then what? they’ve got that person interested in their software and that person is now paying them monthly/yearly to use it, the moment they start noticing a minor issue, is the moment they’ll start to slowly become an irate user, they’ll begin to notice how people have consistently spoke about small details that plex could fix and nothing is done about it, but eventually those minor issues turn into such an inconvenience and the more you deal with those inconvenience the more you start to get irritated by it.
For example, I avoid playlists because they’re useless without the above mentioned improvements, I use collections but only to make it easier to navigate between similar content, thats all its good for, I even managed to avoid multi-episodes until I couldn’t avoid them anymore and I was forced to make this post back in february, at one point I was splitting episodes in half and adding the intro/outro to those files which is such a waste of time when it can be avoided, I have got to the point were I would avoid labeling multi-episodes, which looks horrible when you view a season and it looks like episodes are missing “01, 03, 05, 07 etc…” because for some reason every episode in Doc Mcstuffin or Peppa Pig has to be multi-episodes.
I don’t see a point in threatening to leave because it will be ignored, just like everything else. Although I will say that I know a few plex users who have already migrated to a competitor, I only know this because I’m in a plex group that talks about everything plex related from hardware to helping others and a few have mentioned that they made that move, not gonna lie, I’ve been tempted to at least give the competitor a try but for now my loyalities are with plex, which I undestand how idiotic that sounds given the circumstances.
