Plex needs to team up with airlines to run the in-flight movie ... • Aaron Parecki

Plex needs to team up with airlines to run the in-flight movie systems, it's the perfect use for a local media server. And the Plex apps are way better and less crashy than whatever crap the airlines are buying.

  @aaronpk That would be great. And imagine if you could log in and have your personal library on the back of the seat. 🤯

  @aaronpk I just started using Plex this week and have to agree with you. I really like the experience so far.

  @aaronpk oh that would be so cool. And they could install some decent displays at the same time.

  Also it shouldn’t require installing a proprietary system extension CODEC or need an app at all

  Sure but like the iOS app shouldn't crash when it tries to start playing a movie

  They typically either use a satellite or a local media server. The local server can be down a lot but I suspect there are a lot of parties to share blame across there, not just the media system vendor. Plex might not want the bad press ;-)
