When i have a plex lifetime pass from 2016, dam 10 years. Plex works fine, my biggest complaint is the other steaming service they are trying to sell (luckily you can disable it), offline viewing on mobile needs a lot of love.
Everything else works good enough. Why should i spend time on converting?
My next thing I want to replace is my good Nvidia Shield, sadly with Android TV that 1/3 of my main page is an ad , and i can’t easily turn if off. And have not found a good alternative launcher.
It is like Microsoft windows, enshittification.
Who really cares if you see some ads for 2 seconds before you press the Plex button?
