a (hopefully temporary) pip solution for mac users

hey, plexers—
so, as i (we) wait for the coveted pip within plex media player,
i started researching chrome extensions for picture-in-picture
goodness (to no avail, it looks like they are all safari extensions).
BUT,
in my searching i found a free app called helium (mac only).
it's a single window browser (no navigation from what i can tell)
that floats above all other windows, with optional transparency.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/helium/id1054607607?mt=12
+el cap+yosemite users rejoice: you don't need sierra to run it.
it's not perfect, but it's 85% perfect.
(apologies if this should be in another forum. it's mac-specific+
addresses the pip wants of sierra (+as a bonus, slightly
under sierra) users.)

I fail to see what this has to do with Plex Media Player.
Are you referring to the Plex app for iOS?

i know it says "itunes" in the link, but if you click
on it, it's a macos app. this is technically an
instance of plex web, but for macos plex media
player users that want pip, this is a potential option.
make sense?
Gotcha.
Thanks for the explanation!
