Hi there, I saw a lot of topic without any answer to this question. Is there any reason for not releasing a new version of Plex player for mac with the M1 support? Qt is now available since months. The app is actually so broken, its laggy even on M1 ultra. Guys, please do it.

One here - would like to see at least the Player-App as AppleSilicon (resp. Universal). The Current Player behaves since the last update no longrer stable and crashes extremly frequently out of nothing… thx.

I cannot even launch it anymore after an update I think. :frowning: Player is no go too: [Screenshot 2022-04-06 at 21.02.21]

Hi - as the Player App (not Plex for Mac) is from 2020 (veery ancient and old) i did not install it - and I use the Plex App instead to connect to my server.

Now that a server version with native Apple Silicon support has been released (1.28.0.5999), maybe the chances of a client increases?

Especially since there is an iPad version, if it is a native Swift application, there should be not much work to make it fully supported on Apple Silicon processors. Fingers crossed :crossed_fingers:
