Actually its completely related. It was never a service issue. Its more that Plex is partnering up with companies like Google & pushing for people to use Google Chromecast. Gave some rubbish about if you are using “Presto” your device will not be compatible because of security reasons. To which is rubbish given Vizio could of just given a userface update to change that. My TV is only 3 1/2 years old; which is not even that old. Yet I still was forced to buy Google Chromecast.
I’m not oblivious to what’s going to happen. They want people to use Google Chromecast or these other devices so they can collect your metadata and connect who you are & what you watch to your Google account. This way they can send your information over to these tech giant companies. As they force feed you Ads of things you like from off of what you watch or sites you surf. Kind of why Vizio got busted for selling people IPs & user information without consent & had to pay a 2.2 million dollar fine.
Well like I said I already ordered the Google Chromecast. I dont even care anymore. This is the last minute update warning they sent out. That most ppl knew nothing about till their service was cut off & now their online servers & multiple TVs now have to get this device. Imagine doing this during a Pandemic when most people are unemployed & have to pay for these external devices for all their TV sets or they just lost their service entirely. Just disgusting. Plex support is ending 2020-09-30 on older smart TV devices
