They didn't for me - it meant my SO would wake me up after they'd been woken up.

I then started wearing headphones to bed so that I would hear the phone ring and not disturb them, but when you're rolling out of bed and hopping on a call at 3AM it's difficult.

What I seriously underestimated was the strain that being on-call can put on a relationship, it's a massive regret.

Unfortunately quite a bit more complicated on the back end of things when you need to report on it. Both loading a webpage and downloading it have a similar request pattern. Take, for example, a PDF file which loads seamlessly in Chrome.

If this is something you can currently distinguish, I’d be very interested in hearing more!

Just a quick aside here, having not had to deal with Plex support before. Their support email is disabled, and honestly soured me immediately on the handling of this announcement. I realize that this is probably a trend, but emailing someone about an issue I will most likely want to talk about via a no reply address, then responding as follows is sure to run many the wrong way as I under no circumstances would like to join your forum:

As much as we would love to talk to every single one of our users, we are simply unable to provide one-on-one support via email.

I can't agree more - I'm a huge proponent for star rating systems. I get that they are perhaps more complicated than a Boolean value, but they help me out personally.

I miss the days of "tap tap scroll four clicks" on the iPod to help me rate new music, specifically.

This is an awesome idea.

I think what people might be missing is that even with the features you currently have, there's a market for this application already, though maybe not as a stand-alone lightroom replacement.

If you think about batching, my brain immediately starts gravitating towards real estate, headshots, HS seniors photos, ENG.

In short: drop the filters, put the "basic" controls on the left, focus on what you do best.

Kudos, folks, I'll be watching this one!
