> Plex Media Player v2.49.0 is now available to all macOS and Windows users. DOWNLOADS: [macOS](https://downloads.plex.tv/plexmediaplayer/2.49.0.1041-bf8608f7/PlexMediaPlayer-2.49.0.1041-bf8608f7-macosx-x86_64.zip)[Windows](https://downloads.plex.tv/plexmediaplayer/2.49.0.1041-bf8608f7/PlexMediaPlayer-2.49.0.1041-bf8608f7-windows-x64.exe) FIXED: Fixed metadata line height issue on some preplay pages Fixed an issue where some manually added hubs never loaded properly (requires re-adding those hubs to the home screen) Fixed an issue that could cause loss of focus when switching between custom and auto home Fixed an issue that sometimes made it impossible to reorder home hubs

Video playback via a web browser isn’t as robust as the above alternatives.
