I do not care about Live TV, On Demand, or Discover. I use Plex ONLY to watch my personal movie and TV library. I paid for a lifetime Plex Pass so I could support Plex without all the extra garbage. At the very least, Plex Pass users should be able to disable the Live TV, On Demand, and Discover buttons on the navigation bar. Also give me the ability to separate my movies & TV shows! This new layout is horrific.

pretty good for the most part. I use this as a GUI for my media server. great interface tbh. however, one feature I hope will be added in the future, would be the ability to add movies, episodes or otherwise to playlists. I have 5 or so movie playlists that I use daily, two of them have over 100 movies on them (and I have just over 1400 movies total). it would be nice to be able to add them on the android app instead of the web browser version running the app on a pixel 10 pro, if that matters

Plex became exactly what I always wanted. I set up a Raspberry Pi server, added my movies and TV shows, and after setup it looked like my own Netflix. We use it daily—my wife watches her shows and I watch my night movies. It works great on multiple devices, you can stream anywhere, share your library with friends or family, and even watch free shows with ads. I bought the subscription in 2019 mostly to support the app and years later I’m still very happy with Plex. 🙂
