So now, Plex is blocking alternative agents for matching album art and descriptions.
And if you dare to use yet another alternative agent, you’re rewarded with a superb, permanently anxiety-inducing red exclamation mark on the interface: exactly the kind of thing to force users’ hands.
If the service were flawless like TMDB or others, this might have gone unnoticed, but the number of TV shows and movies that aren’t recognized, or are recognized incorrectly, is growing.
Imposing this on users under the false pretense of speed and reliability (which it isn’t) is yet another middle finger to users (Plex Pass or not), and the mind continues to be lost day after day, leaving a bitter taste in the mouth.
