No Music or Photos?

Sure. And if they can configure two they can configure ten. The point is that it’s one resource. This is the thing for family photos and movies.

It’s not at all about fear of change. It’s about the user experience. Necessitating and learning how to navigate multiple apps to do one thing is not feasible. At this point, Dropbox folder makes more sense than the direction Plex is going.

Again, Plex is my primary method of navigating my content on my server. That’s its job.

I don’t mind the option to have different apps as long as they’re hyper-optimized for the thing they do (ie PlexAmp). But there still needs to be one app to do it all.

From some of the comments I’ve read, the Plex user base is unreasonably demanding. There are some niche features that belong in a hyper-optimized application that otherwise get in the way of making a reasonably good everything-application.

What Plex should be looking at is a sister app to PlexAmp and PlexPhotos called “PlexScreen”. This app should be just as customized for video watching as Amp is for music listening and Photos is for picture browsing.

The regular Plex app should remain as an all-in-one portal to the users’ server. It should have some niche content features stripped out and better management features added in (cover art, tags, etc).
