Interesting. That never bothered me, and I've reinstalled Plex quite a few times over the past 2 years. For me it's quick to setup and re-index, so I don't really see an issue with its own data getting lost, as long as it leaves my files alone.

I guess it's because I don't use (or see the need, really) for these features. I mean, I can remember fine what I've already seen and I don't mind clicking through to my next episode when I get back into Plex, and I don't really care to know what I've watched in the past, how many times, or how I rated it.

I'm more bothered by its DLNA server crashing, its occasional screw-ups with multi-audio or multi-subtitle containers, or it's failure to transcode some files (though most of these might be due to the receiver more than Plex).
