Plex IS getting worse and Im getting frustrated!
My best client experience is nvidia shield, and using plex-shim-mpv. It uses mpv as the client and supports every format I watch, specifically ASS subtitles for anime get direct played.
-
HDR on Plex windows client washed out
I found this thread: https://github.com/iwalton3/plex-mpv-shim/issues/31 It seems that changing the config to use http (insecured connection) may solve this issue. I have remote access enabled and I'm signed in to the Plex server, so maybe that's why I didn't have those issues.

Movie not filling the entire screen?
I just don't worry about it until I try and watch the movie and it has black bars, then I just use plex-mpv-shim to watch it, and handbrake it after.

Why does Plex still have no Linux support?
Have you tried this? I use it all the time when watching stuff on Plex. It direct plays every thing I have minus 4K. Note it doesn’t offer the Plex gui. Instead I used my phone to find what I wanted using the Plex app and then cast it to the player

having issues with video, Manjaro KDE
The plex experience in a browser was never great for me, whether it was transcoding or subtitles. Once I started using plex-mpv-shim, all those problems went away and it's a fast and seamless experience with directplay every time.

Syncing Kodi across multiple devices
I used to do that, now I use Plex (running in a docker container on a machine under my stairs) and the Plex Kodi Connect (PKC) to sync my Kodi database to my Plex database. Best of both worlds
- PLEX only buffering on a Nvidia Shield (high bitrate files)
-
There must be a better plex client then Nvidia shield!
That being said, there are other client apps for Android: you can try Kodi, and use this plugin: https://github.com/croneter/PlexKodiConnect to use it as a Plex client. It is definitely much faster than the Plex app, and the setup while intimidating, is actually simple.
