  • They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
    The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

    Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.








  • This is a feature I want to love so much whenever I’ve used it in the past. It’s great, it’s useful, it’s super awesome … then, I just open 10,000 tabs [ok, that’s an exaggeration, but I currently have 42 open and that’s not even a lot] and they’re scattered all over the place anyways and I can’t seem to force myself to keep them grouped properly!

    To anyone that can get their brain to actually utilize this feature, congrats that it’s finally coming to Firefox!
