Great idea but too many frustrations

I’ve had a plex pass for six months now and have completely converted all of my media to the system. It works for the most part on my hard-wired network at home. Where it is really lacking is on wireless networks, whether in my house or out and about. I’m sitting in my house right now waiting for the latest episode of This Is Us to play on my phone. I’ve cut the quality down to 480p at 1.5mbs and am still waiting for the show to start playing five minutes after pushing play. I’m the only person on my network and nothing else is using WiFi. Ironically I can use Netflix with zero delay. Why does Netflix work and plex not? Couple this with the frustrations in using plex in general and I’m seriously rethinking whether going this route was the right choice. I’ve read in the boards that grid scheduling is coming. It needs to be here now! Does anyone know how to find what channel a show was recorded on after the show has been recorded? I’m recording old episodes of This Old House and am getting the same episode 5 - 10 times because it’s playing on different stations, but I don’t know which stations because that data isn’t saved with the program. Also, when I have a conflict for three series I’m recording how do I manually adjust which show I want to record? The only way I’ve found to change the shows that plex thinks I want is by canceling an entire season of one show to get that one episode of the other show to record. There should be a way to cancel just one episode of a show without changing an entire series. Cmon guys. Do we really need a buggy commercial editor when so many of the basic functions of a DVR are missing? Please put ALL of your resources on grid scheduling. If that doesn’t show up soon I’m gonna bail.
Beautiful app. Still crashes fairly frequently.

I love the concept and in general the implementation of Plex. There are still some problems (mostly related to casting in my experience) but overall works quite well. Sync is an excellent feature. Casting on the whole is indispensable. Navigation is intuitive, fast, and smooth. Could use an easier way to delete synced items.
Terrible server

This app is trash. Not user friendly at all. Now they are trying to force payment for all the things that used to be free. Don’t waste your time.
Ok, not great

Plex is great, I’ve been very happy with it. However, for some reason the iOS app will sometimes go weeks where it will not play the video portion of a video file from my home server, it only plays the audio. I haven’t seen any issues with the Amazon Fire or Roku apps, only iOS. And it works great when viewing content from a shared server, just not my home server. It randomly seems to start and stop working, not necessarily corresponding to server updates. Logging into the web works fine, just not the iOS app. Other than that, I really like Plex overall.
I love this app, but...

I love this app and am lucky to have it, one big hick up is its ability to play well on a roku box since we don't have cable.
Search Menu please read

App is fantastic. One thing though, if I wanna listen to one particular artist I can go their 'artist' tap but there's so much more that's NOT under their tap so I go to search and type in said artist then I just wanna shuffle all the songs that consist of said artist. But it doesn't work like that, I click a song in the search menu, when the song is over, should then go on to the next song in the search menu of said artist not to the next song under that song's album. Annoying. Please update search menu
