The other issue is that I had intended on sharing family movies and pictures with my family using Plex. It would be nice to share holiday playlists too. As it current is, Plex would be an awesome platform to do that. I often show up to a family event, install Plex on their Apple TV or Chrome stick and have family movies and photo slideshows playing in the background.
Now it seems the future of using Plex to share media with family is no longer going to be feasible. If I have to tell them to install and sign into three different apps - one of them now primarily focused on being a streaming service - there's just no way that's going to happen.
But, as I said in my comment in the forum, the mobile app is the least of my concerns. I just hope they don't mess everything else up.
I don't mind the streaming services. I use Pluto and Tubi a lot, mostly because the service in Plex is slow and low quality. If this update improves that service, I'd be happy to use it.
