Please take a look at the [guide for submitting suggestions](https://forums.plex.tv/t/about-the-feature-suggestions-category/273976). It’s hard to vote for a list of features. That’s why it is recommended to have only one suggestion per post, and to explain your suggestion as thoroughly as possible, so people know what you’re asking for. ---

You should focus on one feature and not a slew of them… While I understand the idea, the concept of each item may not be asked (as feature request) therefor be lost. More importantly, more information is needed the better understand your suggestion. At lease for me it does. Android phone backup… ---

Add the ability to limit the stream quality of specifically the live TV option opposed to falling in the same limits as the rest of the server. In my experience I find it best for movies to be 1080 but TV episodes and live TV to be in 720. A separate cap on the live TV resolution would be helpful in regulating remote bandwidth use since OTA and cable is often 1080. ---

Why Wouldn’t you vote for anyone of these items? IM TIRED OF PAYING FOR CLOUD SERVICES I WANT PLEX TO BE MY OWN CLOUD SERVICE FOR ALL OTHER DATA THINGS THAT ARE NOT VIDEO/MUSIC/PICTURES. ---

Because Plex is a media server… Not a PC manager… As it is PMS Core Features are not getting implemented, some have been on the list 5+ years… ---

> [@ChristianGarciaNJ](#): > > Why Wouldn’t you vote for anyone of these items? Probably the same as asking a car manufacturer to start growing tulips or lettuce. They could… some might like it – but it’s a very, very, very long shot. But maybe I should ask my ISP to start baking bread. Shouldn’t be worse than what you can buy in some supermarkets these days… # Edit: also… as pointed out in the very first response. Sticking by the guide for submitting suggestions will give you some attention / reactions. ---

Because the listed “features” would be more obnoxious than most of the other “features” that do nothing but get in the way of watching media. Plex needs to add very little but it would be good if they simply made watching things as easy as it was just a few years ago. ---

Pizza and coffee and popcorn have been requested for years and there has been no movement at all on that front. We have also been asking for a direct neural interface but Plex will not even discuss the uses thereof. ---

This is now closed. As pointed out you need to make separate feature requests for each. But I can guarantee you most of that will never happen as pointed out they are not even related to Plex. The bottom three I guess could be considered backups of Plex app data I guess, but you’re going to need to be more specific. ---
