My biggest complaint is that it defaults to "recommended" instead of "library"... it doesn't save that view as default unless you go into settings and change it to remember changes.

That's a pretty minor gripe considering there is a setting for it. Also, given that it's a you-get-it-one-way-or-the-other kind of setting, they're always going to be upsetting someone.

Have you helped an older relative with computer problems over the phone?

If you could set the default, it wouldn't be a problem.

Where do you imagine setting the default?

[–] CrazyLikeGollum 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I imagine he means being able to set the default view for everyone accessing your server from the settings on your server. So that everyone who accesses your server gets those defaults that they can then change for their user if they desire.

Which would be a nice feature.

I would not want my settings affected by the servers I connect to. That would piss me off.

Changing the default settings wouldn't mean changing any individual user's settings. It would mean changing the default settings you get the first time you login. Which the user could then change to their preference.

If you have a bunch of elderly/non-savvy people who are using your server, being able to change the default settings to something sensible for that set of users would be a good feature to have.

Do you actually use their "recommended" view?

Do you primarily watch Plex live TV or their other ad supported movies?

Yes, it lists shows I'm currently watching and takes me directly to the next episode.

No, never.
