Will there be a replacement for plugins down the road?
We do believe there is a better approach to plugins than our existing, ancient protocol that plagues our app teams, though we don’t have anything to share on that front at this time.
This is what leads me to believe that they are looking at it but don’t have anything solid to talk about yet. Maybe I’m projecting sunshine in the dark but that’s the way I’m looking at it.
I’m not an Android user but have read enough posts to feel the pain. That’s why I was encouraged that they are choosing Android as one of their focus points. Even though it has no effect either way on myself. Having a strong, functional Android client is important for Plex as a platform. And it’s about time. I was also encouraged by the 7.6.0 release notes on the Android client. It seemed to have way more fixes in it than most client releases. I see that 19 days later, they’ve rolled out another release.
Again I think this is a feature that makes the Plex platform strong if it works well. As I’m getting older I’m getting the feeling that if you need this feature, you really need and appreciate it.
Plex is doing a lot of stuff that isn’t “the way I’d do it”, but I am rooting for them in the long run.
