This is a very valid complaint however I understand their need to monetise and at least you can remove that items. At least so far.
I am always open to alternatives however with everything I have tried over the years nothing has come close to how well Plex works. From the flexibility of running the server to the superb automatic content identification to the frame perfect delivery to my TV it has been flawless for me.
However I feel I should point out again that I don't use the transcoding feature so I cannot comment on how well that works.
- causality0 7y agoEh, it's gotten noticeably worse of late, almost as if their resources are going somewhere other than UX. The client as picked up a habit of hard-crashing on certain files when "Automatic" transcoding or "original" is selected instead of manually choosing a certain bitrate.
- satysin 7y agoI do not use the transcoding feature (it murders HDR content) so have never experienced any crashes. The only UI prompt I recall seeing is some new streaming feature which I haven't looked into but appears to be some kind of partnership with content providers? I was able to get rid of it easily enough to not even remember how I did it and haven't seen it since. Perhaps the mobile apps (which I assume are updated more regularly?) have had some more prompts? I only ever use the app on my TV.
