We run a plex server and I hate it. Hiding "timer" functionality (turn off in x minutes) behind a paywall feels like a shit move to me as a parent for whom this is a pretty basic functionality.
- jaffa2 10mo agoAsk for a refund.
- barbazoo 10mo agoDidn’t buy, not gonna reward them for it.
- jaffa2 10mo ago> Didn’t buy My point exactly. If you want the timer pay for it? Otherwise what are you complaining about ? Ferrari dont’ even let me use a car for free, and I dont post complaining about how if I wanted one I would have to pay.
- barbazoo 10mo agoSure obviously you're right. I think it's shitty of them because I learned about it after already setting up everything because I thought this was basic functionality. My bad. So it would be more like Ferrari giving me the car for free, and then after a while when it starts raining I find out the windshield wipers are behind a paywall. Sure that would also be my fault, technically but it's also a shit company for doing that.
- jaffa2 10mo agoCan you not just set your TV to turn off after X hours ? In the EU this is actually a legal requirement that they can do this. (for 'energy saving') Many TV's also have an explicit sleep timer. Yes this doesn't resolve plex issue but could solve the issue in the meantime. Or go old school and plug an actual electric timer in the socket and cut power to the TV after X minutes/hours
- gilrain 10mo agoDoes Ferrari have a competitor that lets you use a similar car for free? Because Plex does.
- barbazoo 10mo agoPlus it's behind the $10 plex pass, not the $3 remote watch pass.
