Please kill this with fire as quickly as possible.
Even the option to disable would be a paltry concession.
I don’t want to have to guide my friends and fam through the steps to yet again configure yet another setting (ie remote quality) to toggle off.
The better option if this terrible idea gets promoted to prod would be to have it disabled by default and enabled by the user. Unless this could be controlled by the server owner, but I’m guessing thats unlikely and also a disjointed end user experience if they’re part of multiple servers.
What is the reason for adding such an useless and annoying feature? Just because bigger companies do this so should Plex?
I consider the intro chime annoying in all the applications that have a feature like this. But I thought that Plex, as a community driven product, would have the opinion of the community in mind when designing new features. Please remove/disable this chime.
This is news to me as I don’t have a Android TV device but I HEAVILY request that this be ELIMINATED ---- FAST!
First off, JUST BECAUSE oh, I don’t know… TUBI TV, YouTube, Hulu, Netflix HAVE ONE doesn’t mean WE NEED ONE! Don’t forget… If you, PLEX, a PRIVATE company with VC money, want to IMPRESS US, continue working on the technical engineering and not the FLUFF.
No one ASKED for a branding CHIME. GET RID OF IT!
WE know exactly what we’re opening. That’s why we installed it. We don’t need a chime for your brand recognition. That’s NOT why we have your apps installed.
I’m sure you all might not know this but as a RING doorbell user, I have had to MUTE/VIBRATE my notifications of my RING doorbells simply because the chime is annoying. Many of the streaming companies who implemented their chimes FORCED it upon their customers. It’s NOT cute. AT ALL.
OH, and you have the time to do R&D to come up with a BRAND CHIME but don’t have the decency to finalize the work to finally launch the audio for ATSC 3.0? Good gawd you sure love to make everyone crazy.
You don’t understand. Many of their leadership panel that Plex acquired last year were executives from some of those brands. They are merely steering Plex in that direction because they think it will embolden and make the Plex brand unique, when it will in fact drown it out. They are turning the brand into a streaming copycat.
A configurable option is not enough as I would need to guide the family members that use my server through the steps needed to remove this from their devices.
Just kill it and consider it as an experiment which didn’t get any favorable reception.
Thanks!.
PS: I used one of my scarce and precious votes on this issue.
Yeah, it’s horrible, I quite liked the logo flash, but the sound really harshes my mellow. It’s weird, I used to open plex to have a browse, but I hate that sound so much I only open for a browse if everything else has been browsed. At least Netflixes startup sound is more soothing.
Hi there, just logged in to the forums to tell you:
That’s an awful feature. Please remove it (not an option to disable it - scrap the entire code). Also kindly fire whoever had this idea.
Interesting, it was playing the start up sound the whole morning. Now the start up is completely silent as of 9:29am CST. Maybe they pushed something server side to silence it. I can’t reproduce the start up sound anymore.
