Plex

Hugo Kleinhans

Plex helped me retake ownership of my media, so much so that I cancelled my Netflix subscription. Plus it gets all the show info and art for you, arranges them accordingly if your file naming conventions are okay (doesn't need to be specific) Have it setup to work offline for when your Internet drops, it's such a great app!

I downloaded a bunch of episodes to play in airplane mode on my flight and I could not play any of them!! Kept asking for a connection even though it was all saved locally. And I pay for the subscription! Never using plex again. There are better ways to access your home server. Awful experience. Update: even with a connection I cannot play downloaded content. But once I delete it I can stream it as normal? Is it downloading corrupted or something? Terrible app...

Plex is great! But.... I'm having issues streaming from my server to my Google tv. Some files need to be auto converted to play with sound on my tv. I have to manually set it to automatically convert, every time I start a new episode. Plus, if I want subtitles as well as needing the auto convert, nothing happens. Like nothing. Auto convert+subtitles tells me my network isn't fast enough (it's 2.5gbe/wifi5 network) and just refuses to play. Doesn't matter the file, does it every time. Please fix

Originally I was drawn to this app becauae it would give me a better interface to browse and select my dvd movies stored on my hard drive that included poster art, there was a learning curve, especially with the music, but then they added streaming and the ability to share access to my library with friends, it continues to be exactly what I needed and with the premium fee I can access my movies from anywhere

I think this is really good. better than the other ones I've tried much better and not so many commercials to watch to watch commercials for a minute 30 to watch a movie I recommend this anyone that wants to watch a movie and just have to every half hour 15 minutes or so like a commercial wake up commercial for a minute and 30 seconds sometimes it's not even a minute so I choose to watch that for now on.

Server doesn't always stay connected during downloads, so many failures occur on play back. Download speeds are poor, despite being on the same LAN as the server. And playback sometimes fails even when the music is downloaded (doesn't appear to load ahead of playing). App data is 73GB plus 162GB of *cache*. Sometimes I can't open the playlist it says it has completely downloaded *unless I connect to the internet*! Please fix this! Takes forever to load. Pixel 8 Pro

I'm not sure why some things cast to Chromecast but others don't. They skip or buffer. Sometimes when something is casting, it can not be stopped even if you exit out of Chromecast and Plex. I've had to just unplug Chromecast. It's weird. Other than that plex is ok. The files that play, play properly, but many files don't play or give error messages even if my WiFi is strong.

I use.plex a lot, on the server, the tv, the PC, the PS4, and I recommend it. But on mobile it is very uncomfortable and unstable. Trying to play media crashes the system UI on my Android 12 and I have to restart the phone. Unusable in this state

Plex has a decent range of movies. I like that it shows all movies and showes, yet it's easy to see which ones are acctually on Plex. However the adds are outrageous. There are usually multiple adds at a time and take about a minute and a half for them to finish. I've also noticed that during the adds run time the app stops frequently to think. I've looked at my internet connection and there's no problem there. Hopefully they'll fix that. Overall the app is alright, but I definitely prefer Tubi.
