Plex Media Server

Media server has always been bad on Nvidia shield but it used to just need a quick restart or for me to go through a browser and relink my media folders. More annoyingly, the most recent time (possibly last 2 times) I had to fully reinstall the server app to be able to link to my account. The link code appeared to work but the screen would flicker and show a new code. After reinstalling I was able to link the server and add my folders again. It is getting boring.

It's honestly sad to see how far Plex has fallen. The latest "update" for Nvidia Shield is useable but a downgrade in everyway. It just gets slower every time they update it. Features are now buried behind multiple button clicks. Gapless playback is broken (or removed, hard to tell). And exiting the player stops playback now (it used to keep going even if you went into the launcher). I'm honestly shocked they would release something in such a miserable state.

Plex is dead for me .free basic services such as having 2 extra users to share with is gone. Alexa skill is eliminated -the only option i had my plex for - and not to mention the lack of privacy and juming the $99 premium life time subscription to about $300 for a closed source app when there is a much better option like jellyfin server which does everything that plex struggles to be. The wholphin app working as client app on your shield / google tv paired with jellyfin server offers you an experience you will forget plex or any simillar paid subscription services for ever.
