Oh, is there a reason why? I used that feature pretty heavily :frowning:

It was only there because that app shared some code with the TV app, which it does not anymore, so its implementation was spotty, and from what I was told only a small number of folks actually used it in the web or desktop apps.

Gotcha. I’ll try out Plex for HTPC and see how it does. Thank you for the info

Same here, no remote Players (Plex for Windows newest Version, also Server on Synology NAS) in local Network since last updates. My new HTPC now is useless. Comon Guys, this must be a bug, this was one of the best Features. FIX IT PLEASE!

Not gonna lie, I absolutely hate it when functionality is axed because “nobody used it”. This is why I don’t want apps to phone home lol. They start thinking that they know better than you do how you should be using it.

I was using this feature heavily, and this basically break my normal use of Plex. I did install Plex HTPC as suggested, but it doesn’t allow remote control of the audio volume, while the Plex app (before 1.46.1) allowed it, and I used that extensively. So please add remote volume control to Plex HT…

It was only there because that app shared some code with the TV app, which it does not anymore, so its implementation was spotty, and from what I was told only a small number of folks actually used it in the web or desktop apps. I use it all of the time. Plex HTPC is not optimized for a keyboard …

Same crappy situation here. Why the hell take this feature away from Plex. I really can’t understand.

That is a terrible decision. I use that feature all the time, as do many others. Why remove the feature? Please return it. I don’t want to have to use the buggy HTPC version.
