Loved that work.įrom the job spec, I was maybe over qualified but it was Plex, it's sitting in my NAS, remote servers phone and tablets, purchased multiple time from their odd monetary system with iOS. It's so interesting to hear this one, I interviewed with them because I had some random linked in notification, I use their product, I wanted to be a part of it and I worked on a similar proprietary platform with live tv.
PLEX MEDIA PLAYER FOR LINUX MOVIE
Most people just take whatever movie they downloaded from ThePirateBay and act shocked when they need to transcode the video. And another thing YouTube does is re-encode videos that are uploaded to commonly supported types to allow for quick and direct playback on client devices.

The hardware of your server, the hardware of your client, the supported codecs of your client, your WAN upload speed, your client's download speed all become factors here.
Your ISP's allowed upload speed also becomes a factor once you leave your LAN, and in America, most people's upload speeds are much slower. I still believe this to be a configuration issue, because things don't just magically get worse because you left your LAN. You need to check your server configuration to determine which you're using, because a misconfiguration means you're accessing through one of Plex's relays which is going to be massively degraded performance. There's direct server communication and then indirect through Plex's servers. There is some confusion about how accessing Plex outside your LAN works. I'm typing this message with another window open on my Plex server which I had skipping around a video with near instant playback when I move the play head (even outside of the reported buffered zones.) I run my Plex server on a relatively old Intel NUC in a docker container with the storage mounted over NFS from a 4 year old Synology NAS. YouTube is ran by servers outside of your control with content delivery mechanisms caching popular videos in a datacenter SSD near you. The funny thing about people is that they say things like this without considering that their own setups are to blame. > Given enough bandwidth and reasonable latency, you expect the experience to mirror youtube or netflix, but plex is not even close. But working from their fork allows them to iterate at their own internal cadence. They also contribute back to upstream ffmpeg when they find a bug or optimization for ffmpeg. Plex uses a fork of ffmpeg that they iterate on and presumably cherry pick changes over from upstream ffmpeg, as well as add their own changes on top of. It explains why they're seemingly incapable (unwilling) to fix long standing bugs, and it explains the development of features that their base doesn't want (because Live TV, rental, and gaming represent new markets with new potential subscribers) That dynamic explains the problems I have with Plex. I've paid for them to provide a service, but I've also incentivized them to change the service in a way that I use it less, because me using the service costs them money. But while I'm coasting off of my $79 Lifetime Plex Pass that I bought years ago I'm not a customer, I don't represent a revenue stream, I represent a growing cost. If I pay a subscription I'm a customer I use their services but I pay more in a subscription than I cost them, everyone is happy with the arrangement. Lifetime membership sounds great, but it changes the nature of my relationship with Plex. It underlies all of the problems I have with Plex. I'm starting to regret signing up with a company that allows that sort of purchase. >I also agree the lifetime pass was a bad business move.Īs someone with a lifetime PlexPass, I also think it's a terrible move. It would have smoothed out revenue and focused development on paying customer demands. I think a better model would have been something like "pay $45, get every release in this major version, new major versions come out approximately every year" or with an alternate tier that would be "use plex, pay $35 per year, get all the updates". I also agree the lifetime pass was a bad business move. There's a lot of pigheadedness on the engineering side it looks like. So the community tends to be right on with what Plex should be doing.
Most of the WTF feature releases are rolled back or deprecated within a few releases.

r/plex is basically full of posts complaining about long-standing requests, bugs, and broken features that are just simply ignore, followed by posts of "plex just released new feature literally nobody is asking for or wants, wtf?" I've almost never seen such a disconnect between product development and key user community. Plex can be amazing, but the core user community has absolutely no idea what the heck the Plex devs are doing these days.
