Plex Download Feature - Big Backwards Step - All not Lost?

Hi ya,

So plex on apple devices has gotten kind of weird the last few years. I never had to reboot appleTV/iphone etc to get plex to run properly. Delayed/very slow interface, Posters showing up slowly or not at all, media barely being able to play after a long hang, pauses and hangs in video. On appletv you can replicate this every time by starting netflix then closing it then starting plex or in whatever order you want. By close i mean swipe up on it. On iphone you used to be able to flush memory by holding down the power button until the swipe to power down then holding down the home button. It would wipe memory without rebooting.

Question. How big is your library? I am thinking maybe that has something to do with it if it is large. Mine is pretty large as well. Maybe all of the new features no one uses is chewing up resources or not giving them back… or its storing too much metadata … shrug. Netflix runs after plex has been running but plex will not run after netflix has been running. I think it does the same thing with amazon and disney but I dont watch those enough to say it with any certainty.

Good Luck!!
