They also responded to me me saying "Plex has been cracking down on Netflix style streaming services for 5 years" but then tell you "Plex isn't cracking down on piracy, you're spreading misinformation!" 🤣
I've always hated the fact that Plex was sort of a black box, I've been using it for over a decade and always had random issues which we're unable to be troubleshot because there was no information available. One long standing bug is sometimes when you setup a server it won't connect to the Plex backend and doesn't register on their end, so even if you visit the local IP of your server, there are zero server settings available. No one knows why it happens or how to fix it, there has been a big report open for it for ages and even the devs/support team are like 🤷♂️ when you ask them for help, and this is after paying for PlexPass. Granted it doesn't happen frequently, but it's still annoying as hell. "Claiming" your server when its run remotely (especially in docker) can sometimes be a huge pain as well.
