Great video. The only thing for me is, if Plex is this intrusive where it comes to personal data and privacy, it would have been nice to have a few suggestions for alternatives.
I'm using Plex Directplay since 2 years(I have a PC with Plex Media server running. I access my files from Samsung TV - Plex app). Everything was working fine. But from last week when I play any file in TV, it just keeps loading and doesn't play. When I go in app's settings, it shows Media server status - Indirect). Please help!
You lost me at 1:33 "Move to the next section", which has to do with your emails and stuff. I don't know what's considered the next section. Can you guide me to it ?
The big question when you disable all of the 'send xyz to plex', of course, is do they honour this? In truth, you simply have no way of knowing. Every piece of software you install has the potential to snoop on your data...without you knowing, or worse, against your wishes. Outside disabling the internet on that device, there's simply nothing you can do. As a programmer myself, it's the easiest thing to do, unfortunately.
going to be brining up Jellyfin and see how that works. I just need a media server. Plex is sticking their nose in where it does not belong. Will only get worse.
I like Plex this kinda stuff disappoints me if a company is going to shove this stuff on on quietly and hope we don’t notice what are they going to do next
First thing you showed in edit profile didn't show up for me. Next thing you showed.... you didn't put the link in your BIO for the video. So we have to pause it and type out the whole link... Why would you not allow us to copy and paste it?
Thanks, Brian. I've used Plex for a long time and never knew about these settings. Many thanks for a very informative video.
Glad it was helpful!
Got it I had no idea, it's set to private now thanks.
You're welcome
Thanks Brian... I'm all about privacy and security.
And you take advice "about privacy and security" from a guy whos using chrome on windows. xDDDDD
@@geryythekid8896 Why you gotta be so negative? So far he's given much better advice than you have.
Perfect!

Might be either for paid users, or shares.
