First: I like this plugin very much!
Second: Maybe I’ve missed it, but is remote control from another Plex client going to be added or even possible?
When they add Plex Companion support. You can use Kodi remote software for now.
Yup… I use Yatse, works great 
Plex Companion is definitely a feature thats high on the priority list. Unfortunately, we ran into an issue with deploying using the beta repo, and ruuk left to DisneyWorld for vacation, but when he gets back, we will release the beta.
For those folks who know GitHub and are following along, you could try it out at:
Hey @keithah just wondering if you mean Plex Companion is in the next beta release, or the library sorting?
I’m thinking about using PlexForKodi, to replace PMP, but I also use Phlex for Google Home, which allows voice control. This requires being able to select the player from the Plex Server (I believe this means companion players).
Love the look of PlexForKodi so far 
I’m happy to hear that development for kodi addon is still moving forward as it’s the only reason i brought a life time pass, keep up the good work 
@Flippage Plex Companion is definitely not in the next release.
@keithah just installed the add-on and Im testing it out at the moment.
I love the interface, and its so much faster than PMP to back out of videos/sections. So props for that
Just wondering if there’s plans to make it possible to shut down the PC from the plex add-on, as is possible in PMP. The wife and I use PMP as our current daily driver, and we shutdown the PC from the plex menu. With PfK, we have to exit the addon and then shutdown from the kodi shutdown menu.
The only other thing I’m wondering, is do I need to configure the video playback and stuff from the Plex addon? (Not many options). Or do I set the video settings and audio settings up in Kodi? (Lots of options, but unsure if it filters through to the addon)
Great job so far, and keep up the good work!

You set the video and audio setting within Kodi. You can also set audio and video setting specific to a movie by bringing up the osd while a movie is playing and selecting the ‘settings’ icon.
Not sure that an add-on can take over the functionality to shut down kodi. Depending on the type of remote you are using, you can probably map the kodi ‘system shutdown’ command to your remote

Another week… more radio silence. Even the PMP team had weekly update posts for the first year of its release. This project made it 3 months.
@keithah posted about whats going on with him and the other DEV. THere is also a post in this thread from the 24th.

The Dev team here have achieved more in 3 months than PMP in 2 years. Dev lifecycle will naturally slow now that we have a robust initial release.
I’ve cut myself several times when visiting this thread… since it’s so bleeding edge 
eheheheheh
(kidding!!!)
I’m using this on a daily basis and until now nothing major in terms of issues/bugs.
But keep the love coming!
I was hoping to get a beta out before ruuk went on vacation, but alas we weren’t able to meet that. He gets back this week (and I leave next week…) but I’ll try to get a beta out soon.

Thanks for the update, any teasers on what’s included?
Its posted! Great news: we finally got the testing repo going! Sorry this update isn’t as exciting as some of you hoped, but starting to get Kodi to behave with sorting was not fun.
The next task at hand is Plex Companion! Among many other responsibilities both of us have. Ruuk is back now, so next week I’ll meet with him and we’ll plot out next steps.

Greetings
I’ve tried the latest beta on GitHub (102b). The sorting seems to be good but it does not retain the sort settings once you’ve left the library or Kodi.
BTW I wanted you to know I sent my NVidia shield back for a refund a few months ago. The Nvidia’s output is beautiful on my 4k TV but I figured their PLEX Server was just not ready for primetime.
But when I read about this Kodi plugin I decided to go for it again and bought another one. i.e. the best the Plex Server (organization wise) has to offer but with the powerful Kodi playback engine (which IMHO blows away any Plex Client).
I am very happy with this plugin!
Even the Nvidia Plex Server / Client combo could not handle my higher bitrate encodes (i.e. 35Mbs) and annoyingly resorted to transcoding when it shouldn’t. But Kodi handles these movies with absolutely no transcoding, lag, or dropped frames. In fact I stopped using the NVidia PMS and went back to my much less powerful PC (Windows PMS) and my experience is still awesome.
Great job!
So, I have to ask - why aren’t way more people using this?!?
BTW I’m a +1 on the remote control / Plex Companion feature.
Thanks

Duh, I looked at the first one.
Sorry I forgot to say the zip link is in the 2nd post.
@thruster999 glad this add-on allows you to watch your files correctly!
Can you explain what exactly you mean by ‘sort’? The actual sorting or the show episode/artist/album part?
In regards to why doesn’t more people use it, it because they don’t need it. Kodi, and this add-on, is really for power users like you (and myself) who want to extract the maximum performance out of things and are willing to spend time tweaking stuff to get there. Plex has a great ‘out of the box’ experience but theres many edge cases they can’t easily account for, which is why this add-on exists. Glad you like it!
