Fuck me for wanting to watch movies with my friends I guess.
People do tend to feel frustrated when announcements like this one come out, and I'm sure it was a hard decision for the dev team, but Plex really still just works so well for me. They do a great job.
I'm sure someday a better platform might come along, and when it does I will give it a try, but for me it just wasn't jellyfin. Plex 4 ~~lyfe~~ now.
I use this all the time on my Jellyfin server.
I just moved to jellyfin instead of using Plex on my NAS, and I'm so glad that I did.
jellyfin has this :)
I have been using Jellyfin for over a year and have never seen this. I’ll have to look later! What client do you use?
SyncPlay.
It's a people icon in the top right in most clients that support it.
Users can set up a group, and other users can then see and join that group. Any media played in the group is played on all clients in the group.
I tried getting this to work on my own server, but it apparently needs web sockets enabled to work, which I’m sadly too dumb to figure out. The button is there and I can see my friend in the group, but when I start something, nothing happens for them.
Why does sysadmin gotta be so haaaarrrrd???
Oh wow, I thought I had to use syncplay once I build my server, but thats handy
To be fair, you will still be using Syncplay, cause thats how Jellyfin do. Just wish it would work with regular Syncplay clients. or if it does I havent figured out how.
Stop using proprietary software. It will always betray you, sooner or later.
That goes double when a serviceable Free Software alternative exists and you lose little by switching.
What is the „new experience“? Usually that means enshittification.
It usually comes with a price "update"
There is a beta, you can try it, it looks nice
if you aren't trying to justify your lifetime subscription what are you even doing with Plex?
I got my lifetime subscription so long ago there weren't any viable options at the time.
And now I just use jellyfin (and occasionally toss them some dollars for dev because its awesome).
Well, luckily I don't have a lifetime subscription with em...
it's the only reason I can see that anyone still uses it.
Watch together is... Was genuinely great, it work... ed so well but I guess we just can't have nice things
PlexAmp is bar none the best app for selfhosting music. The movie and TV stuff is nice too
Prologue is also pretty fucking fantastic for audiobooks. I initially tried Audiobookshelf, but Docker refused to play nice with my NAS libraries. And ABS refuses to ship an installable program outside of Docker, so I was just up shit creek until I found Prologue.
Plex doesn’t natively support metadata and chapters for m4b files. It just tries to fucking play them like a 4 hour long music track. Technically it works, but it’s not very helpful for audiobooks. But Prologue does support m4b files. Prologue just uses Plex to remotely access your audiobook library (set up as a music library in Plex) and then it does all of the actual metadata and bookmark stuff locally.
ABS is soooooo good, holy crap. I just loaded everything into it once it was live, which took a long while, but it works amazing. You could also sftp into the docker location I'd guess, but I'd have to look up the commands to get it right
Yeah, I think it was a permissions issue. ABS seemed to be working properly, but it couldn’t read or write anything on my NAS. It would appear to work when it was running, but nothing was permanently saved; Everything got wiped when the machine rebooted.
After some googling, I found some others having similar issues. And the only real answer I was able to find was basically “lol don’t use a NAS”. But that doesn’t work for my setup, because my server only has a small drive for the OS.
It sucks 😞 I use the feature a lot. Luckily you can still use it for the foreseeable future in the web app... But I don't really use the watch together feature on the web app when I use it. They've sent an e-mail which is more confusing. They mentioned the watch together feature was quickly implemented on the current version. (Was it because of COVID? I don't remember) So it means the feature should be relatively straightforward to implement in the new version? Right? Especially since they mention they spent two years rewriting their apps "from the ground up" to enable them " to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before"
Also if they developed it from the ground up they could have taken into account the watch together feature to rewrite as well. They either did not want to implement it from the start. Or noticed it wasn't compatible with the new tech they wanted to use in the new versions.
The mail
It was the year 2020. Life had gotten very different, very fast. Then, at the request of a fan named Joe, Plex Labs quickly put in some long hours creating a way for the world to watch together when circumstances kept us apart. It wasn’t perfect, but this experimental feature created human connection in a time when we needed it most. Now, five years later, we are nearing the official release of our new Plex experience that will bring us closer together than ever before. We’ve spent two years rewriting our apps from the ground up to boost our development speed, which should enable us to bring new features to you more efficiently, across more platforms, with much higher quality than ever before. However, this release also means ending support for some features that we’ve grown to love, like Watch Together. Though support for Watch Together will not be available in the new Plex experience for most devices, you can still continue to use the feature in our web app for the foreseeable future. And because we’ve seen your love and tremendous response to this feature, we don’t preclude the possibility of offering similar functionality again in the future, using new tooling. We know that this decision will impact many of you, and we appreciate your support and understanding. Sincerely, Your Friends at Plex
Would be easier to give "support and understanding" if they actually explained why they didn't reimplement it in the new "experience".
They already took out the option to watch playlists together like six months ago.
Never used it
