A few requests to improve music playback on Android TV:

1. When playing a track, you can see the star rating but can not move the cursor to the stars to rate the tracks.
2. Screen elements do not move like they do when casting from the Plex app (album art and text remains in the same place). Aside form being visually uninteresting, this can also cause screen burn-in on some TV’s…
3. When playing a music playlist, clicking the arrow down button goes to the top of the play queue, even if you are 50 songs or so in. It would be ncie to jump to the track that is currently playing.

Please keep to one feature per thread. It’s easier to vote on the individual features that way.

OK, I will open 3 new requests for these. I don’t have enough votes then to vote for my own requests.

> As I mentioned in the temporary thread announcing the forum changeover, I made the argument that 5 votes per person, to be spread across feature requests for all Plex products, were not enough. Now that the changeover is complete, and I have allocated my 5 votes, I want to reiterate that argument, and ask that the vote allocation be increased. Ideally, I think each person should have 5 votes per Plex product area. If it’s not possible to restrict votes on a category basis, then at least incre…

OK, I created new indivdual posts… I have a TON of things I would like to see regarding music playback. Plex is awesome so far, but we are missing some things that Google Play Music had. If Plex would add them, it would be the ultimate music app!

Yes, of course… but the main things we need are server-side I think. Better metadata at the track level is the most important thing of all. Right now all of the compilation albums in my library are ignored unless I specifically play them.
