Top Feature Requests (OLD)

This list is now obsolete.

You can see a live ranking under https://forums.plex.tv/c/general/feature-suggestions/l/votes

To read more info on how voting works please see here About the Feature Suggestions category

None of the links below will work unless you right/ctrl+click and open in new tab/window. All of the topics were transferred over but vote counts could not be. You will need to revote.

This was only left here so users could use it to find the title of a topic they previously voted for and search to revote.


Welcome forum members. A popular request related to the forums is the ability to easily see which Feature Request topics have the highest number of “votes”. Since there isn’t currently a way to do this natively in Vanilla forums, I’ve come up with an alternative. Here, I present to you the Feature Requests with the most number of votes in the forum.

Please note:

  • This list is for informational purposes only.
  • It is NOT an indication of what features might or might not be in progress, nor should it be taken as indicative of any specific priority for Plex.
  • I will keep this list updated once or twice per month as appropriate.
