I’ve just spent 10 minutes searching for the one post I know, posted by a plugin ninja/dev, that had several nicely laid out. The post asked for others, and I myself posted.  
To my knowledge, they weren’t addressed.  
I also know, not a bug, but many requested a form of subtitle support be included in the plugin API - it never was either. (and I don’t mean download like Subzero)

But we do not have a definitive list of these issues. Therefore, I have compiled a list of known issues in a pinned thread at the top of this forum. This list shows issues that I am currently aware of and that I know have been reported to the various Plex player app developers.

I refuse to spend more of my time proving this point - I’m not the only person who felt this way, as I’ve stated in a discussion with dane22 previously after my post. I’m not a developer, but a close dev friend I made here shared that opinion with me, and that another had shared with them.

I’m so tired of seeing this point - I’ll simply state this again - the whole Plex eco-system could be considered a very grey background Jolly Roger flag.  
One rhetorical point I will say (of many I’ve made already, just see previous replies above to cayers) - does Apple allow for the streaming of it’s non-DRM content from the itunes library using Plex, grabbing info from the itunes XML?  
I’ve not researched the TOS, but my guess is no.

I’m perfectly fine that it does, but please stop trying to use the ‘piracy’ clause in any relation to plug-ins.
