As a user who recently bought a lifetime Plex Pass, and uses PMP for Windows exclusively, I find the planned removal of Windows-based HTPC support completely unacceptable. How do I get a refund?

:wave:t3: Hello, fellow forum travellers and Plex lovers :wave:t3: We’ve heard you, loud and clear; we’ve had a number of discussions internally over the last few days, and we come bearing three commitments to you: We will keep PMP in TV mode working as it is today and will fix serious issues wh…

This is incredibly disappointing news. I have been paying for Plex for years and exclusively use the PMP for HTPC on more than one system in the house. This change is baffling and unless it is reversed it looks as if I will be seeking alternatives.

A little off-topic. Where can I download PMP now? I have it installed but if I have to reinstall Windows I don’t have the .exe file and it can’t be downloaded now. If ti has support until January 2020, why to delete the download link?

so this is confirmed, the plex app won’t passthrough audio?

[image] Cafe_Diem: Kind of curious: Why does this require a new receiver? I think I missed a detail in there somewhere. Because my HTPC won’t be going away and my receiver is old only has a couple HDMI 1.1 ports. I Currently have a separate HDMI connection from my HTPC to the receiver while t…

For me I have a couple reason. Plex needs a server running for it so PC is on already running. Since it is already running why not just connecting it to my tv? Otherwise I’d have to have 2 devices running and I have to deal with potential network lag instead of a physical connection that is not effe…

[image] Xhaka: Actually I will say that UNO on my ATV 4K is a truly nice experience. UNO is great on the Roku, too. My wife actively swapped from the Shield to the Roku in order to use Plex the first chance she got yesterday.

It is. I went ahead and launched it again last night and no pass through. I think if you scroll up you’ll see someone from Plex respond to one of my posts confirming it as well. I really hope that is something they can introduce
