- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 1 day ago:
Plex is heavier, of course. They don’t have the spending luxuries that Netflix or Disney has to optimize for every platform perfectly. That said, TV’s notoriously use inferior hardware for the built in streaming portion so they can sell them at the prices they do and make higher profit. Sure, they can play the media they were designed to do, but that is the bare minimum requirement. They also sell your data to recoup more profit.
Unlike good dedicated streaming devices, they lack the processing power needed to make it go quickly. I have both and it is a night and day difference in responsiveness in the UI. It either lacks the memory/CPU power to work as well. Don’t just take my word for it though, do your own testing or look at somebody elses. Plex definitely has improvements that can be made, but they are not at complete fault here.
If you pick a good dedicated one, it might not even sell you out to advertisers. Lol. You don’t really want to connect your TV to the internet anyway. They phone home constantly.

Unfortunately, that is just the system your TV runs on being slow. If you use a dedicated streaming device, you will have much better results.

It happens to the best of us.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 5 months ago:
I am under the belief that there was no murder and he had a preexisting condition of lead poisoning. As such, we unfortunately do not cover these kinds of conditions in our penal system and his claim must be denied.
