Fireside Awesome Question! Note - this is either a dupe or very similar to the question posed here. Hopefully that answer covers what is being asked here!
Sharing my library is cool, but I don’t always want to share the whole of a library with someone. Sometimes I only want to share 1 thing with a person. Has there been any work done to be able to share a link to 1 particular item or group of items (movie, collection, album, series) so a person can access just that thing? What about sharing so the person doesn’t need a Plex account to access?

Are you deliberately ignoring questions about the strategy and your further plans regarding the New Experience apps?
Are you able to give any insights into the crossover of PMS users to FAST users? Do you see a lot of Fast users making the jump to PMS? Are PMS users, and Lifetime Plex Pass users, utilizing FAST at all?

Thanks for the event. And before diving into my topic, I’d like to state that I’m generally a happy Plex user and supporter. So, thank you for this great product. 
My question:
What are your plans on improving the UX of resetting the password?
I assume you are aware of the massive problems this caused in the user base after the recent incident. This whole thing cost me about 4 hours when it should be done in 5 minutes. So, this is my most pressing question. Rather than any new features I’d like to see this improved. What are your plans here?

Hello,
Are there plans for a Plex or PlexAmp app for Android Automotive? Until today I can only find/use an unofficial app in my car to play some music.

Can you please update the Roku app to take “Playlists” out from being nested underneath the Libraries? As someone who heavily uses playlists which mix content from various libraries, it’s frustrating to have to navigate to specific libraries that have content on a particular playlist in order to even see or access that playlist. Playlists should obviously be an “uber” category above Library organizations, not nested underneath each individual Library.

I’d love to understand what “coming soon!” means. You say that here over and over, but is that 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year? A lot of us are frustrated and at a crossroads. We have a lot of time invested in Plex, along with paid subscriptions. We love the platform and what it has been, but where it is going doesn’t seem to align with what so many users like and are used it. Sure, change it hard, but we welcome change, but not when it breaks things that were perfectly find prior. Please help us understand and listen and support us so Plex can continue grow and be great for all users.

Hey guys got two questions
Does plex have any plans to support more alternative ordering for example from TMDB Episode Groups
Along the same lines, one killer feature I think would be awesome, is been able to display media in a different order to how the media is stored on disk, for example I store all my files in tvdb ordering, but I’d love for plex to display this in an alternative order without changing the files on the physical disk, this seems very possible in my head by mapping tvdb and tmdb mappings, has plex thought about this type of feature or have any plans to support something like this. TLDR: store media files in one order (TVDB) , plex displays them in a different order (TMDB)

Have you thought about adding something like a “pseudo TV” mode for personal libraries. The idea would be to have Plex automatically create live-TV style channels out of my own shows or movies. Then I could just tune in and watch a stream the same way I do with the Live TV guide either dropping in mid episode, starting from the beginning, or even skipping ahead to the next one.
It would be a fun way to discover stuff I already have without scrolling through menus, kind of like channel surfing. Any chance something like this is on the roadmap?
Fireside Awesome Question! Answer: coming soon!

Good Day Plex!
I am a broadcast engineer, and outside of my day job I assist our local public access channel in Houston by helping to maintain their facilities. One area I assist with is growth, and on a number of occasions I have suggested adding their channel to the plex live lineup, with they are very interested in! How can we make that happen?

The ANSWER to that given question is “coming soon” and in an extra thread, as described in the top post.
These are not the answers themselves.
Monday mid-day update:
This fire is roarin’ here at the Fireside! The questions here are great! We are hard at work prepping the Answer thread and in loading it up with the first round of questions.
One quick note - we will be going back and providing the link to the Question + Answer post as they are posted. So all of the ‘Coming Soon’ messages will get replaced with that link once it is available. Also, we will posting updates all throughout Pro Week so be sure to check back as we keep answering and posting!
Thanks again for joining us Fireside!! 
I would love you to focus more on application stability. Too many times you update the app but that sometimes introduces a new bug or re-introduces a previous bug. I find Live TV (using for example HDHomeRun) after many years still unreliable - with stream stopping during ad break, or 3 second pauses after watching a channel for a few hours, EPG not loading when EPG was the last view, etc. Just getting things working really reliably would make a huge difference.
Sometimes when a server update is available (I have WD MYCLOUD), the link downloads the last version instead of the new version. I don’t know where to report this on the forum or elsewhere? So generally I wait and try again later or am forced to wait until the next update appears. Where can I report a misdirected link?

The version of Plex Media Server in the NAS app store (or whatever it is called) usually lags the current release by several versions. Many NAS vendors are slow to update the version they make available.
If you are notified of an update via Settings → server_name → General, the Please Install Manually link should download the current public or beta release based on the Server Update Channel setting.
If it downloads the incorrect version, you can report it on the forum by opening a thread in the appropriate section for your platform (i.e. server-western-digital).
You can also download the current public and beta releases directly from plex.tv by selecting Download in the top right portion of the window.
What I think Plex really needs is the ability for the server to suggest the client configuration, because for whatever reason, most Plex client defaults to not have maximum home/remote streaming and “automatically adjust quality” is on, forcing transcoding to lower quality video.
It would be fantastic to be able to turn this off at the server level, and the client can 1 click enable the suggested settings via some pop up when they try to play something.
Is Plexamp/music not part of Fireside? (that’s not my question) Seems most (all?) questions relating specifically to plexamp/music are being ignored.
So rather than a long list of specific improvements I’d like to see, I’ll keep it simple. My question is:
Should we expect to see any significant improvements and/or upgrades and/or new features come to Plexamp / music in Plex, within the next 6-12 months?

I would low to learn best practice for how to set up a library with family home videos in a way that I can use Metadata and/or file names to get plex to organize it like a TV-show with year/seasons, actors/family members, episode titles and plots.
So, who ok’d the absolutely terrible UI update, and what will you do with all the people leaving the platform because of this poorly-designed pile of bad decisions?
