Troy Tempest, 2024-08-24Getting REALLY sick of having to rebuild my libraries, metadata, covers, etc. on the Nvidia Shield every single time there's an update to the app. If you can't even update an app without breaking everything, what's the point?

Mitch Lucia, 2023-01-26Plex is like past products from AMD. Requires constant tinkering to keep running. In three years I have not experienced a full month of Plex running without interruption. It great when it works tho. It just rarely works properly.
