![]() I would be surprised if many of these lossless audio nuts on this sub could even tell the difference. I think the Apple TV and the Shield are the two best Plex clients available ATM. They don't seem to care that I (we) aren't happy. My understanding is the only limitation on the Apple TV is it doesn't passthrough TrueHD 7.1, it changes it to PCM 7.1. so Plex kind of has my money coming in, and I can't really leave until I find something else. Unfortunately I haven' the time to start playing again with alternatives. What? They are my photos! What good is a photo library if you can't easily use the photos in the library?Įvery time I try to seriously use some aspect of Plex, I run into stuff like this. Why? Haven't gotten a clear answer, but one of the reps said something about copyright issues in one of the forum threads. Infuse will ALWAYS request the raw video/audio stream and does all the decoding on the Apple TV, so your Plex machine can be very modest (its never transcoding. Can I pick some photos and have them transfer to my device so I can use them? Nope. Let's say I want to create a holiday calendar present for the grandparents. So, now what can you do with them? Nothing much except give slideshows to friends on the family TV, or your device if you're on your network. When people select content they want to watch they will be pushed out to their respective apps or websites to begin the streaming process. So, you put all your photos in there, and organize them, add meta data, etc. Users are able to tell Plex which streaming services they have access to including Apple TV+, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video and then have their content pulled into a single searchable view. It certainly doesn't seem like it would be a hard feature to implement. Ironically, the limited feature library app we were previously using, does it. LOTS of people have been asking for it for like 7 years now (if memory serves). ![]() So, not only can't she do what she needs to do, it wastes resources even if one things far enough ahead to schedule those 'transfers.' Plex support seems to think having an option to directly download might get a user in a 'incompatible video' situation. It just *has* to transcode those movies, just in case they might not be compatible with the device (even though I purposely encoded them to work on all our devices). She wanted to quickly pull a few movies to watch onto her iPad mini before leaving. The latest in a long line of useless moves by the Plex team to add features that make them money rather than features that users are actually asking for.Īnd, as I was noting above, it isn't just nifty new features the users are asking for either, it's core functionality/usefulness type stuff.įor example, one of the first things I ran into after setting up our library, was my wife going on a business trip for a few days. ![]() ![]() If it doesn’t support your personal library then this feature is useless. ![]()
