Feature request - Restart PC & Restart Plex in main menu

Can this be added as a feature? Would be very useful!

On my HTPC I just have a .bat script (Yes, it’s running windows, but, it works fine) that runs ‘start’ with the /wait argument, then after that it calls shutdown -r -t 20. This obviously means once you select “exit” on the plex menu it’ll restart your PC after 20 seconds.



You can obviously do this for your linux/mac box using Bash. The .bat code was something along the lines of (I don’t have access to my HTPC, at the moment):-


cd E:\32bit\Plex Media Center\<br />
start /w /realtime plex.exe<br />
shutdown -r -t 20



Obviously you'd change E:\32bit\ to your program file install directory.


Nice solution but it takes away a function of Plex, surely better to have an option on the menu?


Other skins have the ability to restart such as Blur. However, you have to enable it in settings --> blur --> features:-

Then you get;-

As for the default skin, best bet would be to look at the source for blur, work out what function it calls, then just create a new menu item for it on your old skin.
