      Yes. I actually haven’t really used it in the past month or so because I’ve been using Kodi locally, but I put up with bugs for 3 years, at least. For example, subtitles just dying, and files refusing to play. It got so bad, I setup a home assistant script that used adb_command to force kill and restart the Plex app. I could say “hey Google, piece of trash” whenever subtitles fully just stopped working, or it hung randomly, or whatever. My blood pressure has gone down significantly since switching to Kodi, but I keep pms running for mobile and web.

        Ngl I’ve had a CCwGTV since launch and haven’t experienced any of this. In fact it’s been the most stable Plex experience I’ve had other than the desktop app.

          I’ve had heaps of issues with transcoding, possibly because some of my hardware is old, but since using tdarr to transcode my library to something the CCwGTV can play directly is mostly smooth sailing.

            CCwGTV should direct play just about anything that’s odd.

            When I had transcoding issues it was down to bitrate or client device. CCwGTV can handle HEVC and OPUS audio with a subtitle track just fine (an Xbox would transcode OPUS audio and subtitles). I did have to get an ethernet adapter and stronger AC adapter in order to play high bitrate 4k but I’ve downgraded almost all of my 4K to 1080p anyway

            Edit: depending on which model of GTV you have, you might not be able to play AV1 but that’s fine because nobody is transcoding releases to AV1 yet
