  • This all still doesn’t address the first thing I wrote:

    Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards.

    Why can Jellyfin perform perfectly on the same hardware? Very snappy. It’s obviously not the hardware’s fault, but more a lack of optimization — and testing. If they tested/dogfed their app on WebOS at all, they’d know it’s ass.

    Edit: I just did a quick research on this in the Plex forums, and it seems like a lot of posts detail the same experience as mine: Plex used to work great until a year or more ago where it just turned into an unoptimized mess where even stepping left or right to a different poster, or button, has like a 1+ second lag.

    It’s very clear this is Plex’s fault. It wasn’t always like this.

    Every single post is ignored by Plex and automatically closed due to inactivity (from Plex). They don’t care.


  • Jellyfin with the same library takes mere seconds before I see the first movie/episode poster cards.

    How do you explain this? Every other app is very quick to load on the TV… Plex is the only issue.

    If you use a dedicated streaming device

    What do you call a TV? The streaming isn’t the problem, it’s the loading or processing of data from the server, and/or transitions between views, that are the issues here.

    Streaming is fine. Once I start a 4K HDR 5.1 movie with direct play (full quality), there is no issue, even when seeking. It’s only the browsing and loading/displaying of data that is super slow. And only on Plex.





  • 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.
