Thanks for all your feedback on our HTPC preview! We’ll keep this post updated as a sort of FAQ for our roadmap. It’s marked as a solution so that it sticks to the thread’s top.
In progress:
- Proper HDR support, of course.
Update 1.3.0
- Loss of full screen state when changing monitor or switching inputs on an AVR.
Update 1.2.0
- Investigate missing back button handling for some users.
- Add a global aspect ratio setting, as was in PMP, primarily as an assist for 21:9 users.
- Investigate why the Windows system volume control doesn’t render above HTPC when fullscreen.
Update 1.1.0
- Revising the playback on screen display look and interaction.
-
Pressing ArrowUp or ArrowDown during playback will perform 10m jumps.After much discussion we won’t be restoring this PMP behavior. We’re instead retaining the current behavior for consistency with our other Plex players. - Automatically selecting the highest render resolution at startup based on the current screen, of course you’ll be able to pick one of the specific resolutions.
- Investigating why HTPC being open during system shutdown on Mac creates problems. We believe this to be addressed but would appreciate additional feedback.
21:9 support? We’re expecting video playback to fill the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio of the video. Pressing z toggles different zoom settings in case your video has letter boxing baked in. We will follow-up to see if mpv.conf tweaks improve screen fill during playback. We’re planning to maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio for the UI itself.
Improved mouse support? This is firmly a lower priority maybe. The application intends for usage on a 10’ device with remote control (Harmony, Flirc, etc) or gamepad (XB1, XBX, PS4, PS5) input.
