So the new PLEX app is out for Windows. Here’s what I’ve found. Remote no longer works (Alt+Enter) does not take it Fullscreen. No access to advanced audio settings, (No Atmos, AC3 bit-streaming, etc.) 4k Playback stutters on a fast PC and is unusable. Touch support on the Surface is TERRIBLE. …

Please refer to the 50 other threads already going.

[image] TopDownDriver: Remote no longer works (Alt+Enter) does not take it Fullscreen. You can make it fullscreen with F11. As for the rest - I’m in the same boat. Won’t pass audio stream to AV/receiver and I can’t set it up, stutters every time the HDD reads and I can’t increase the buffer …

The new app for desktop is not meant ot replace PMP for HTPC users. Plex has basically stated that they’re getting out of the HTPC business. [image] TopDownDriver: Remote no longer works Correct and this isn’t likely to change. [image] TopDownDriver: (Alt+Enter) does not take it Fullscr…

Understood. However, stupid. NONE of the other devices work as well as the PC - not even close! By the remote not working, mean that it is the device that sends the Alt-Enter to the app. This is WINDOWS standard and NEEDS to work to be a compatible Windows app. No passthrough - no user. It is …

[image] darcilicious: Plex may be reconsidering passthrough audio. No passthrough? Is that why I’m only getting stereo with the new app? Also external subtitles doesn’t work at all. This is terrible…

Actually, this new version has the same stupid bug as PMP that prevents it from leaving full screen once activated. I can’t believe we get a new player and it has the same bug as the old one.

[BUG] Listing “All Movies By Title” displays an inaccurate total number of files. (It adds Collection folders in the total and includes the folders on display alongside individual movie files. (Using other filter options such as “Unplayed Movies By Title” displays the correct total and excludes Col…

Feedback on new app. No experience is better or more versatile than a full PC HTPC and is many people’s use case for plex, so I hope it isn’t being abandoned. Audio passthrough is a must! Also, the full screen should have a UI onscreen button like it used to. A lot of people’s preferred input device…

every video stutters for me, all formats and resolutions. this is unusable. i just installed latest beta, same thing. uninstalling this waste of time

I agree, the only reason I use Plex is full HTPC experience with basic keyboard or remote commands for navigation. Move away from that and I will have no reason to continue using an app which requires the use of a mouse.
