I agree 100% with Gary. Plex actually had more than 14 month more like 24 months to work on the M1, since apple offered access to companies via their developer program early.
And it will not take years. Try to buy a non M1 Mac now and you can only find older, often refurbished system with no warranty. Instead it seems plex is investing most time away from the plex server and towards music. Give all he cheap streaming services I don’t get this but I can only assume, that it has to do with trying to move away from being seen as a tool to display often illegally obtained content.
But this doesn’t explain he complete silence on M1. I said this before, it is very understandable to not publish a roadmap and it is also ok to not shared details on what you work on. But after 2 years I would expect Plex to give some update why there is zero visible progress on M1. If there are tech limitations that prevent you, why not share?
I expected to see some posting saying why the M1 support is not progressing but instead we get one liners that say nothing. I don’t see Gary’s posting as trolling. It is the posting of a paying customer who is frustrated with silence and meaningless lip services from Plex about the M1 support.
3 diffrent models all brand new with Intel.
If you don’t like the way they do things. Use something else.
And yes we are paying customers but most buy the Life Time Plex passes and you bought that long before M1 was around. So moaning about lack of support isn’t valid. You was happy to part with your money at the time - They never said we will support PMS on every system to the end of time because you either parted with $79 or $9 per month.
Nobody will buy an iMac and all current mac’s with intel are older, outdated models. Realistically M1’s are the only cost and performance effective option. Nobody demands plex to support M1 but come out and say you won’t so people can make an educated decision on what to purchase. They have two years and so far all we hear is we will support it, we care about Apple customers. Lip services. Had it been a few weeks or months I would agree to chill but it has been two years.
I look forward to native versions on M1+. As with any company, there is probably prioritization and multiple dev projects ongoing and I suspect the current M1-native development will get higher priority if Plex did not run well on the M1 platform today, or Apple deprecates or removes Rosetta 2 (I suspect many years out).
While a roadmap is always appreciated, I feel I am getting well above the value of my lifetime subscription and appreciate the continuous improvements to the platform!
To be honest, as others have said, a clear idea of what’s happening after all these months isn’t too much to ask for.
Elan has been posting one liners and ripostes here instead of actual updates.
I think Gary’s point is fair, as others have said, communication isn’t too much to ask for.
When you pay for something, then aren’t sure what’s happening, it’s a bad feeling.
On the other hand, you are making a lot of assumptions in your posts, and coming across quite childish.
I don’t think Gary comes across looking bad, personally. I think you do.
Didn’t expect to come in here and see someone post stuff this this illogical or ignorant… Please just stop. At this point in time, for any devs developing for Apple platforms, there’s honestly no excuse. I’m one of those devs lol. There’s literally no excuse other than neglect and 3rd party neglect.
You don’t even realize how ignorant you sound do you? You sound like a joe smoe trying to argue against something that almost every Apple dev knows as a fact… this is not productive or even on the line.
Not what I said. I said there is no date yet. Of course its happening but the argument was its happening in 2022. So I ask again have apple confirmed this? Oh wait.
Has anyone got Plex Arcade to work on a M1 mac or no? Plex Arcade worked beautifully on my intel mac. It died and I got a M1 mac mini. Now I’m getting a parsec client error ~15000.
