No, it is NOT being discontinued, Plex has undone that decision.

I repeat, PMP is NOT going anywhere. You can re-read the updated blog entry: https://www.plex.tv/blog/desktop-af/
EDIT: So, this next section used to talk about how we were ending support for Plex Media Player in six months, and with it, effectively ending support for HTPCs as a platform. We planned this with the best intentions. tl;dr, modern streaming devices provide a better experience for most people (the vast majority of you have already switched), and not spending energy maintaining PMP would mean we can focus more on making that experience better for everyone. Well, let’s just say that although their numbers are few, the PMP army speaks loudly, in mostly civilized voices, with the occasional conspiracy theory peppered in. So, we hear you, and we’re adjusting our plans a bit:
- We will keep PMP in TV mode working as it is today and will fix serious issues which impact the product for the foreseeable future.
- We will continue to invest in our player technology on streaming devices both to increase media compatibility, as well as to bring more “HTPC” features there (e.g. video zoom modes). We will also do a better job at communicating their capabilities, as it’s pretty hard to get an accurate picture of that. Look for more information on that soon!
- We are now actively investigating the best way to continue supporting HTPCs as a platform.
Thanks for all your feedback, and for being awesome! Now on to the pithy conclusion of this blog post…
