Posts must be related to Plex and Plex-related products, apps. etc. Try to keep comments relevant to the parent comment and to the post.


Rule 4 - Keep discussions of "media aqcuistion" limited to means and methods only.

Discussions regarding media acquisition should be limited to the "how" not the "what", as this is not the place to discuss piracy of specific media. There are other communities for that, and we don't want to get this community defederated from instances where it's a forbidden topic. Posts/comments discussing specific acts of piracy ("How do I find X show?" or "Where can I download Y film?")will be removed. For further clarification see this post

Personally haven't used Infuse so this may not be entirely useful.

Big factors keeping me on Plex:

  • Native clients available for almost every device (PS4, XB1, Smart TVs, you name it they probably have it)
  • Plexamp
  • Things like playlists, which while I can export from the sqlite DB if I really want to go, it would be a hassle to
  • Linux HTPC app

Less important factors:

  • Live TV (from Plex, not a HDHomerun etc) useful for background noise
  • 'Discover' feature allowing me to see what latest movies are out 🚢⛵🧲
  • Very easy to share content with others
  • Casting to other devices in the home
