Plex Dash and killing a "Now Playing"

How does one kill or stop something that shows it is Now Playing?

For example, I had both Plex Amp and Plex App playing music at the same time and they both showed up in Now Playing and I wanted to kill the Plex App but there is no option to kill it or stop it but it did show that I had it paused.

Is that and option and I just can not find it?

You (currently?) cannot do that in Plex Dash.
However you can do it via Plex Web (click on Stop playback when hovering over the now-playing tile).

Thank you for the reply Tom. It turns out you can “Stop playback” on all of the plex apps including web, app and Dash but it only shows the “Stop playback” on “Plex Media Player” and not “Plexamp” so I guess they have not added that yet to the “Plexamp” application.

Oh and you have to “hover” over the user name at the bottom or press and hold on the user name in Plex Dash to get the "Stop playback " option to appear.

Plexamp pre-caches media for playback, so stopping playback is considered just a bit mean-spirited.

Thank would explain it then. Thank you for the clarification Elan. Looking forward to future updates to Plex Dash and especially Plex Amp!
