In some cases, we have plans for a future in which a better replacement shows up.

We didnвЂ™t approach the process lightly we looked over usage numbers and took into account maintenance costs and general customer satisfaction. And while any given case might not be significant, they can add up over a decade to a death by a thousand (paper) cuts. Or kill support for a platform with low usage or other challenges. WeвЂ™ve also been incredibly reluctant to take anything away from people who may be using a given feature. The Plex ecosystem is quite large, and over the years, weвЂ™ve sometimes added things that might have made sense at the time, but didnвЂ™t age well. The company explained its reasoning for all the closures in a blog post: It has also added native support for podcasts as another means of getting news and informational content. But Plex itself bought a streaming news service, Watchup, last year and quickly added a dedicated news hub right in its app as a result.

Plugins also make less sense for PlexвЂ™s business as it continues its push into live TV streaming, as many of the Plugins were workarounds for not being able to access TV content - like ABC, CBS or NBC shows, for instance, or a newscast of some sort. Essentially, itвЂ™s at the point where Plex would need to rebuild the feature to keep it around, but canвЂ™t justify doing so when so little of the user base takes advantage of the option. Among the most popular were plugins for services like Pandora, CNN, Vimeo and others.Д«ut Plex says that less than 2 percent of people were using Plugins, and it was built with an outdated protocol thatвЂ™s difficult to support. The Plugins feature allows users to add various channels and other third-party add-ons to their account, so they can access online content, including video, audio and other photo services. The decision to shut down Plugins seems to have given Plex the most concern, and was not taken lightly, the company says. In this case, the feature allowed subscribers to select some content from their local media library, then sync a copy to a cloud storage provider for access when the local Plex Media Server was unavailable. Still, Cloud SyncвЂ™s removal is another example of Plex stepping away from supporting other cloud platforms. Meanwhile, Cloud Sync was adopted by so few that Plex jokingly challenged any upset users to вЂњDM us a photo of your Cloud Sync library and todayвЂ™s newspaper,вЂќ to prove they actually used it. вЂњWatch Later,вЂќ it says, was costly to maintain and hard to justify when only a handful of folks used it, for example. However, Plex says that its decision to shut down this other group of features has to do more with their lack of use. etc/nginx/sites-available/, the change has also meant that support for things like Plex Cloud - which allowed users to stream their media from cloud storage sites like Google Drive and Dropbox - no longer take precedence.

PLEX PLUGINS INSTALL

Even though the beta update channel is typically quite stable, it is recommended to install the stable release unless you require specific early access content ( release notes). The latter is only available to Plex Pass subscribers and can provide early access to improvements and/or new functionalities, but also early access to potential bugs. Install plex-media-server AUR (stable update channel) or plex-media-server-plexpass AUR (beta update channel).
