I use a tablet or my phone to control my Plex Home Theater on my HTPC, both are android. &nbsp;I would love to see some better/more plex widgets. &nbsp;

&nbsp;

for example:

the current remote widget is serviceable, but would love if it was re-sizable so that i could make it bigger, far too small right now.&nbsp;

a now playing widget that would show basic info about what is being played with basic play, pause, ff, rewind controls.&nbsp;

a widget for viewing your movies and tv shows. &nbsp;(maybe just one widget but you choose what it shows. &nbsp;like recently added movies/tv shows or on deck tv shows/movies. &nbsp;it shows the 5-10 most recently added or 5-10 on deck posters of movies or tv shows, whichever you choose it to show and clicking on one takes you straight to that show/movie).

&nbsp;

I love plex and and app but would really like some better widgets. &nbsp;I think this would make the android experience way better.&nbsp;

The following are just the Music/Audiobook Players I have on my phone now. Not sure why Plex did away with this feature. Think we could bring it back?
