Plugins removal?

Can you please clarify when you say Plugins, you actually mean the scanner metadata agent plugins as well as the video plugins are their usage of 2% being stated is combined. Yes, I know agents are unaffected by this change but you’ve made installing them a headache for non-technical/non-forum folks.

Id like to followup and say if that is the case then 98% of Users are not using Plex “correctly” (my definition) and that is Plex’s fault for probably not educating them well enough. If subtitles is such a big feature, what was everyone using thus far - Sub-Zero (EDIT: Still using). I guess the others never knew it existed. And there are more…

Other than the Plex Ninja’s who have been taking care of Plugin development/maintenance, I don’t recollect any Plex Employee in the Plugin section in the last few years. If 0% Plex developers visit (let alone develop/maintain) the Plugins, 2% Users is an astronomically high number.

Rather than blaming the feature which got no love and support from Plex and still flourished it would have been better to introspect and fix its shortcomings.

I like the sync feature but I have never successfully been able to use it and I end up using Netflix’s sync feature when about to travel. I don’t have time to troubleshoot a day before my travels as most would agree. Do I want the sync feature to be dropped because only x% can use it - hell no, I want Plex to fix it !
