@3s83: Thanks for your post & helping keep the problem visible. I’d be happy to share my spreadsheet & make it editable. Here’s a link to Dropbox:
There are currently 70 titles on the list, and I’d love to see more titles added to emphasize the problem, but how many will it take for the Plex staff to acknowledge & fix? (100? 200? I feel like this is a petition
If we get 300 signatures, will Plex fix the problem?
)
One critical note: For this to be meaningful, the user needs to check the release status in Plex every day! This is the only way to show the true delay between Tidal availability and Plex availability. It’s easy to check the street date on Tidal, but the only way to capture “first available on Plex” is to check every day. Rarely are singles viewable in Plex after street date, but, in my experience, a few albums tend to sneak in later.
Can’t wait to see additions & Plex staff actions. But I get this feeling… the behavior of the Plex platform feels like the Tidal license expired and Plex doesn’t want to re-up until enough demand is met and/or a new deal is worked out. I’m totally guessing with no specific insight, other than, these results are what I’d expect when 2 companies part ways and don’t want to tell anyone. Right? To ignore a problem for 3 months? Please prove me wrong, Plex ninjas. Your friend, yortdog.
