Plex needs to allow 3rd party players, like MXPro, when watching live TV or files off your Plex account. The Plex player is really lame, you can’t quickly and easily adjust the volume or the brightness like you can with most other players, and it almost always crashes when you try to change the resolution. There are lots of files that I have at 1080 on my Plex account but sometimes I’m in a place where the internet connection isn’t that great and I try to bounce them down to 720 and it just crashes or stalls. I love Plex overall, but there has to be a better player.

Third party players are already allowed. Plezy and Infuse are two of them.
