Player Version#: 1.73.1.3905-c1a43e18

I just updated my Windows Plex player and afterwards noticed that the right-click context menus are not working. I can click on the vertical ellipsis icon to bring up the context menu, but right-clicking does nothing. I haven’t used Plex as consistently in the last several weeks, so I can’t say for sure when this bug was introduced. But I happened to notice it now after this most recent update.

Thanks!

The Windows app is based on the web app. And this one  
never had any type of right-click features. Right-clicks on a website usually invoke menus of the web browser.

Up until recently, it has been possible to right-click on a track or album (maybe even an artist) as an alternative to clicking on the ellipsis icon. They both bring up the same menu. I don’t think I’m imagining that this feature ever existed. 😅

Also, even if it is based on the web app, you can still create custom context-menus that appear upon right-click even within the browser. Just look at Google Docs as an example.

Thanks for your time!

The web app never did this.

You might be confusing this with Plexamp’s features.

Right. I wasn’t saying it did. I’m just saying that it shouldn’t be a limitation.

Ugh. Dude, you make me feel I’m being gas-lighted here. I swear that it used to do that. Is there a way to download an old version for testing? I use Plex enough while working that it wouldn’t make sense for me to open the app and just start right-clicking expecting a functionality that wasn’t there previously. You know what I mean? 😄

Thanks! But these are for the Plex Media Server when I need an older version of the media player. It’s really awesome that someone is doing this, though!

Oops sorry, misunderstood. Is this what you’re seeking then? [Older versions of Plex (Windows) | Uptodown](https://plex.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions)
