I can’t say we have any concrete plans for any of those things 
This is computed programmatically (and recomputed as tracks/albums are added), so I can’t see it being something we’d allow editing.
It’s something we’d like to do, but haven’t come up with a concrete plan around it. One idea we were tossing around was to have a special label/rule which you could apply to an album which the system would check to keep it out of stations, etc.
We don’t get this request a lot, but I have seen it before. We have the notion of a content rating (which we were using with TIDAL), we just don’t have a good source of metadata for it if I recall correctly. Could of course let people tag albums manually…
We’d prefer that people add this content to places like Last.FM so that everyone benefits.
Really appreciate your kind words!

I’d love this too (as the guy who wrote the “hack” to allow a primitive form of this inside Plexamp). Unfortunately it’s quite a large change to the DB schema.

No plans to do “listen together” at the moment; we’ve added sharing in Plexamp so make it easier to share track/album/artist/playlist/top charts with friends, which we find is useful and fun, even if the friends are on other music services.
We are always keen to make discovery a thing (mixing your music collection with the greater universe).

You’re very kind! We’ve always loved the community connection aspect from the very start of the project, I have lifelong friends that I’ve met from the greater Plex community 
I 1000% agree. I’m deeply saddened by the loss as well. Please know that I’m looking into ways to bring discovery back in some way, shape or form because it was something I used every day.
In the meantime, and I’m sure you already know this, but if you have friends sharing music libraries with you, you’ll get sonic recommendations which can help with discovery as well!
This was always a myth! There is no massive v5 waiting behind the scenes, I’m not sure why people thought there was 
We do have some cool stuff coming up, but at this point we kind of stuck with 4.10, 4.11, so we’d never have to hit v5!
The multi-room (synced playback) is coming soon (never thought it would take this long to get it launched).

If you search through the forums people have been asking for this change for years.
Subtitles don’t need 0.05 second granularity. Getting them within half a second is just fine.
Or at least display a 50ms and a 500ms button?
As far as get a different subtitle, sometimes they are all off by some amount, and sometimes there are only one or two, so that’s not always the answer.

There is a major lack of support and hardening existing features. Many of us believe you should step back from releasing new features every week in favor of making sure that existing ones work properly.

Can you elaborate a bit about Tidal’s reasons for ending the integration, and if they are indeed ending all third-party integrations? (People on the Roon forums are speculating like crazy 
)
Or is that something you can’t talk about?
I am not sure how to remove the threads or shut them down. Also, It seems like up until the Fireside, I have yet to get anyone from Plex besides yourself that has even answered or tried to answer any of them and I think they really must be all related to the same issue underneath.
For intense when the Plex Player that ran good on the older Mac before it decided to update, I am wondering if I could find the older version and reinstall it to see if it reversed the issue. But, I can’t find an older version that might work.
Here is an update on the Plex Player for the older Mac. I found the page with older versions of Plex Player for Mac and downloaded several starting at the top. 1.91.0.129. I tried to run each one as I downloaded it. They were all unsuccessful until I got to 1.67.2.3705. And NOW I am able to view my various libraries without issues. There is no longer that popup message “Something went wrong”. It is running just fine.
Hi @hokierulz, thanks for bringing this up!
We appreciate it can sometimes be frustrating if you got home just after the airing ends on the guide, but it’s still actively recording because you told Plex to record for x minutes after ending. The effect is compounded when it’s a unpredictable item like a sporting event where you need a relatively long value in that field.
While I can’t make promises on an ETA, I’ve filed an issue for the team to discuss possible solutions that would improve the viewing experience during these scenarios. This is by no means an unsolvable problem.

Hi @Divideby0!
We have plans to improve the Android TV experience in our roadmap, which should cover a lot of the scenarios you described here. The one I’m most interested in right now is the last one that I would love to get some more information on:
- You prefixed it with “(Managed User)”. Does this not happen with a server admin account?
- Can you give me a specific example of a person that you clicked through and then doesn’t show up in the cast & crew hub?
As for the new player experience options, there are currently no plans to bring that to the Plex Web client, which is what Plex for Windows runs under the hood. As for reasoning, while you obviously can playback content on our web client, its primary function is managing/curating your library so when it came down to allocate resources we decided it was better to focus on platforms fully dedicated to media consumption.
We do have plans in our roadmap to improve the desktop experience next year, which will affect both Plex for Windows/Mac/Linux and Plex HTPC. No details or ETA I can share right now, but stay tuned. 
For now, I would recommend considering Plex HTPC instead for viewing media. It’s been specifically designed for media consumption and includes the new player experience options. It’s what I personally use when streaming from my laptop.

Hi @hpstephens. Are you saying these channels don’t match up automatically after scan (i.e. you have to manually enable them and pick from the dropdown) or that there are no match for them at all?
In either case, I would ask you to please open a new thread in our Live TV & DVR forum section and share more details about your issue and specific setup so we can try to figure out what’s happening. 
Thank you!
Hi @zekyl314! Let me see if I can better understand your issues.
Regarding the deletion, when Plex records something it gets added to the library just like if it was manually added to a folder its monitoring. You can easily delete an entire show or season in Plex if you choose so. Is this not the use case you’re describing?
For the second question, you’re saying you set a show to delete episodes after playing them (e.g. “after a day”), and that it does work, but if you re-record an episode and watch it again it doesn’t get deleted?
After reading… Plex HTPC MacOS M1 Pro - HDR Passthrough? - #2 by gbooker02
Any word on HDR support for either Plex for Mac or Plex HTPC on macOS?
Is it on the roadmap at all?
Also any word on a new database solution for Plex Media Server? Other options than sqlite3 would be welcome.
I hope that whenever you guys start in this in earnest to improve the music DB you’ll do it closely together with us users, to make sure it’s right from the beginning. There’s a lot to keep in mind to get this right.

I would like to bring up to date AGAIN. As a starting point, the Mac Studio is running Plex Play version 1.99.0.210. This version is causing the error to display.
Having made my older Mac work with an older version of the Plex Player (version 1.67.2.3705), I was curious about restoring an older version on the Mac Studio. I started with one back (version 1.91.0.129). After downloading this version in the zip, I opened up the zip to get the app. My Mac Studio will NOW run without the error “Something went wrong” popping up. I am going to assume that I should really NOT call these installs. They are more like just downloading an app because there is NO INSTALL being done. Just a download, unzip the app, run the app.
Now having said all of that, decided to see how far back the older version would go before they would NOT run on this Mac Studio. For Mac Studio users, here is what I found.
The most current app causes the error to display and locks down the app so all you can do is kill the app (sometimes Force Kill). The next 4 versions run on this Mac Studio without any issues (so far). The last version will just NOT run on the Mac Studio at all.
So, it looks like whatever issues there are, came with the latest version and that is where Plex developers should look.
So my next question will be, if older versions work on my two Macs, is there some way to get older MacOS Plex Player versions for the iPad & iPhone.
Next on my list is to see if there is an older version for the PCs that I have here.
At least I have two MAJOR wins here.
Are there any plans to improve the Live TV experience, specifically the Live DVR functionality like rewinding and fast forwarding? It has been incredibly unreliable for me for the last several years; randomly jumping back 30-60 minutes when I pause and then fast forward through commercials to catch up to live. It is currently unusably for the primary use case I have for live TV.
Any feature improvements for Watch Together coming? It’s my favorite Plex feature and while it works, it could be a lot better. One thing that feels like it would be low hanging fruit is supporting playlists and automatic “watch next” for TV shows.
Also, will mod support be coming back ever? I have a niche desire that I doubt would be worth the engineering effort for Plex but might be something the modding community would be able to provide. (Basically I’d like to add a text chat feed as a caption-like overlay during watch togethers. Maybe powered by a discord bot that monitors a particular channel, etc.)

On PlexAmp (and not about the loss of Tidal)…
- Ever a chance on a fullscreen option for both the desktop and mobile clients when having the visualizer up?
- Having just a large version of the visualizer in the center of the screen on a pure black background would look really nice.
- If a new service could be integrated, can the “Mixes for You” also be available when the primary source of music is a local server?
- While it’s nice to have the integrated option, I’ve always preferred it to add on to my library, but the mixes / stations the Tidal-only side generated always made me have to swap sources.

I know I threw this out there last time. YouTube TV has proven that live TV is not dead! They have over 8 million subscribers. Plex has also proven free TV is a big hit with the amount of channels that’s offered now via Plex. I still think Plex should offer premium channels for a fee. There should be a tab for Plex channels and Plex Channels+. I’m still one of those cable card HD home run users that won’t give it up until the cable provider shuts down. It’s nice to have everything in one location. I could switch to YouTube TV but then I have two apps and I want Plex to be the go-to source for everything media! You guys love licensing deals, maybe partner up with someone that already has the contracts for the channels or if possible pass the cost over to the end user and let them pick the channels they want. The average user only watches a handful of premium channels anyways. As always keep up the great work and big shout out to the Roku team. You guys hands down make the most stable Client app for Plex:)!
