Also in the Plex web UI you can adjust the size with the slider top-right (really cool). I like the use of posters for series and movies and thumbs for episodes. ![]() I still prefer Plex over Emby in looks (not functionality). The only real edge I'de give Plex over Emby is the WEB UI. I can't stand the new UI Plex has been pushing especially the type first crap that I've been a hater of since day (even in private Ninja testing). TV/DVR just really doesn't work well at all in Plex so that's a non-starter. First they actually play back media without a lot of errors (always important) but just look better as well. If you compare Emby apps to Plex apps on nearly any device the Emby apps are better (far better). It needs caching or better caching like what is done on Android, then it would be fine to use. Theater is OK looking but I can't use it for Movies as it's just to slow navigating my libs since they are big. I'm not a fan of the Roku UI but it's ok. I like that it's "plain and simple" because that allows it to fly when you navigate large libraries. I actually love the Emby Android app on the Shield TV. Everything else is just fluff, sometimes pleasant fluff and sometimes unpleasant fluff. Roku apps, both Plex and Emby, just work and that is all I really want. I'll just stick with my Rokus as they do not force unwanted things on me. Neither Plex nor Emby have an Android app that is worth my effort to learn how to work around all the deficiencies. They all look and feel like they were designed by meth loaded preteens. I really do not like any Android interface for any app. I guess they are still "thinking."īut that does not make up for the general Android feel of the app. One is that in Android (also the Fire's version of Android I think) you can choose to have a brief description of what is highlighted on the screen in "Next up" but in the Roku app you cannot get such info and the last time (maybe nearly a year ago) I asked about it I was told that "we are thinking about it. Yes there are some things in the Android app that is superior to the Roku app. You can do what you want here in the Android TV app too. ![]()
