I nominate OpenPHT to receive it’s own subforum in the third party clients section.

How about it, @elan ?

I assume the OpenPHT is PHT relabeled at this point.  
I assume we can post bugs to Githjub?

@jwaltrip4 it is community driven fork of PHT. Plex will not develop PHT, maybe fix some bugs.

Excellent, just installed and setup with @DeadEyeFlint’s Black Edition.

So far remote control from plexweb seems to work perfect, have missed this for month, thank you.

I would doubt that plex team will do anything now that openpht is out.

I have been trying for weeks to get answers on bug fixes. One bug there for months. Nothing but silence from plex team.

In any event, I can hope that community folks will support. I installed openpht today, and will be trying it soon on raspberry pi

I love the shared content on the home screen.  
The only thing that is a little bit confusing is that if there are people in your shared content list that have the same names for sections, let’s say “Tv Shows” , which is the default name, things get a bit confusing to find out which one is which. Is it possible to add an option to change the name yourself? Or, perhaps even better, to select a server like in the Samsung app, or PMP (one of the few, if not the only thing i like about it)
