I would probably still want to use Plex due to its superior interface, despite this shit they are pulling. But Plex on my TV is so UNBELIEVABLY slow. I have a large library, like almost 14 TB and still growing. But there's no reason it should take almost a minute (or more than?) for the first content to show after starting the app.
Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards. It's inexcusable how poorly optimized Plex is.
Not to rain on your parade, but the Plex App on my TV, with a library of almost 40TB also loads in seconds
No rain here. ☀️👍
What TV is that? I have an LG OLED TV from 2019 running WebOS, so that's the version of Plex I am using.
My Plex library loads instantly on my phone and on the web.
Unfortunately, that is just the system your TV runs on being slow. If you use a dedicated streaming device, you will have much better results.
sounds like a poorly optimized system tbh. My Plex instance loads within a few seconds. on roku, android, and web.
keep in mind I'm using nginx caching and some advanced configs.
I am using the Plex app on my LG TV, to be more precise. That's the WebOS version of Plex. On my phone and on the web, it loads instantly.
haiyaaa...that explains it.
I have never had a smart TV worth a damn.
