At least be forthcoming with the plan. As in, no intention of letting us install plug-ins, APKs or channels we have subscriptions with or is a replacement capability on the agenda? Yeah, we see what “YOU” want us to see. I’d really kind of like to see what “I” want to see. I should add, I need an obscure international subscription. So just adding what you deem important, will unlikely do anything for me and others with special channel subscriptions. Plug-ins did the trick before. What now? ---

Please use the search before posting duplicate feature suggestion in order to avoid distracting votes. Closing this request. That being said… considering Plex took an active decision to drop plug-in support, it’s unlikely it’ll return in that exact form. Any particular reason why you cannot just open/run that obscure international subscription through a player / app of its own? > [@Feature Request: Bring Back Plugins](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-bring-back-plugins/346416): > > Please bring back plugins to Plex. ---
