Not for me. Before Plex I was browsing folders on my TV and I actually had to organize everything, plus find and download matching subtitles. It sucked so much.

I got into self hosting because of Plex and ran it on a 2015 Shield (both the server and the player) for ~8 years. Just moved the server to another machine this year. Still happy premium user.

“Bricked” in the title feels a bit of a clickbait. In my interpretation if something is bricked, it won’t just start working again after a few hours.

RIP my precious HTC Desire…

It’s just really sad to see this comment and also upvoted this many times. Doesn’t contribute to the conversation at all, plus possibly starts some hate circlejerk.

Unfortunately this is the case I’m seeing happening more. I would love to use a router of my choice, but then I would lose the TV service (Telekom, Hungary). And it’s not just about the freedom of mine to choose the hardware, but the features their one is lacking.

Also with the TV box I got from them 2 yrs ago, I can feel and see that’s is miles behind my 2015 (!) Shield TV.

So yeah, ISPs giving out crappy hardware and force you to use it, is my nr. 1 gripe.

I’m using it on Windows at work and I was also surprised how often it just gets stuck. Deleting the database did help for some time, but then it came back every time I’m sending an email.

The main takeaway for termux users: if you have it installed from GitHub/F-droid, be sure not to update the app from the Play Store in the coming days/weeks as versioning hasn’t been significantly changed for that release yet.

I have my navigation buttons turned off for years now, so I couldn’t disagree more.
