With the advent of the continuous playback feature on the Roku Plex app, I find my wife leaves the Roku playing Friends around the clock. It would be nice to be able to remotely (ala Plex/Web) kill the stream and free up those server resources. Who's with me on this? Click the 'Like This' if so. ---

I could see this being implemented as a PlexWeb feature to stop/pause clients.  Might also be nice to control them as well (change what they are playing). ---

I know we’re not supposed to “+1”, but I want to push this up again. It’s a pretty beneficial option, which after 3 years appears not to have been addressed. And after 3 years, it’s still _Friends_ being played over and over… ---

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (cancel playback from “Now Playing”) ---
