Plex is kicking off the year with some updates that could make the streaming platform a more social place.

Happy Thanksgiving! As much grief as plex has given me in the last few months, this was still sweet to see.

The new Plex UI has modern visuals and one-handed navigation. But is it a step back for self-hosting enthusiasts?

Either I’m nuts (possible) or Plex’s shuffle functionality does a poor job randomizing from the set. What’s your take?

I’ve been trying to figure out if it is just my perception or potential bias since our memories are fallible and whatnot.

It seems like TV show > Shuffle and Playlist (containing all episodes) > Shuffle yield different favored episodes (so maybe a different shuffle algo). And then when I play in episodic order, I recognize episodes that seemingly haven’t played in a while.

I suppose I could pull play counts off my server, but that’s no fun! Sooooo, is it just me?
