Android just struggles with alot more video transcoding than windows devices. I use plex on both windows and android devices and one thing i have found is windows mobile, windows desktop run the app alot better than android. I get why they did the changes and feel it was probably needed for new users, unfortunatly for more exp[erienced users its a little bit less intuative. Its not a deal breacker just a personal preferance thing. I loved the plex app untill today, this new app just feels morew cumbersome. Kodis problems is that it is only for Android hence missing the whole "All platforms" idea. Therefore the Kodi app on Android has zero problems. The Kodi app has all the codecs needed to play all files. But 95% of all my movies are in a video codec that also needs transcoding. This would of course mean that it would utilize direct stream and not direct play, as it is only the audio track that needs converting. DTS is not able to stream to any plex apps without being transcoded. 99% of all movies available is in an MKV container with DTS Audio. You are running couch potato and your movies are downloaded automatically. Plex apps on devices has next to none of the codec/containers that are standard.Įxample. The ideal media library streamer would be able to directly play almost all content, and only transcode if you ask it to, or it sense a low bandwith connection. The whole idea around plex is beautiful, apps on all platforms, easy setup, easy library sharing. Family members can then log in and stream the content to their device including on the Xbox One.Įxactly. The idea is simple as it lets you run a server app on your PC that has access to your media library. ![]() Plex is renowned for its flexibility as it is available on every major platform as well at its easy to setup and use design. ![]() ![]()
