Hi,
I have been using Plex to share media files on my computer over the internet, and this has been fantastically useful and user friendly to use.
I do have a few suggestions to improve it further, mostly to be able to edit media info while watching, instead of having to go back to the library, if some of those features could be accessed from or even on the bottom bar while playing that would be fantastic.
Things such as the ability to give an item a rating while watching it, or editing the information on the fly would be really useful in quickly keeping my library organised. Also I would like a quicker way of deleting files, instead of having to go into the get info section, perhaps this option could be added to the actions menu.
My final suggestion would be to change the right click options so that there are more, as i do not find the options such as ‘follow link’ or ‘reload’ very useful at all, if there could be more useful menu items that would be fantastic.
Thanks for considering these ideas,
Simon
You’ll likely have more luck if you pinpoint your feature requests into something smaller and specific.
Your feature requests contain a number of interesting items, but you’re asking people to upvote them all.
For example, an easy way of rating while watching would be interesting, but I have no interest in making the deletion of media easier (and therefore more error-prone).
Also - what media info would you like to edit while watching? I’m genuinely curious. If I’m watching on a computer using the web client, a quick exit/edit/resume doesn’t strike me as too onerous.
Which client are you referring to when you speak of right-click options?
Hi Snorbaard,
Thanks for replying! I would like to be able to edit the tags associated with media, or the collections or studios they belong to, as these are different for each item. I basically would like to be able to quickly work my way through each piece of media and tidy up my library so that content is easier to find later on. So just simply having access to the edit window from the now playing window would be amazing.
I’m talking about the media player, I just feel that the right clicking could be more useful. Just more menu items that are better associated with the context of what is clicked on would be great. I understand if this is easier said that done though.
