Would love for Plex to support Pegasys Inc.'s .pgmx format. This format/container can playback as a regular full Blu-Ray complete with menus. Since Plex does not support ISO’s, this could be a better option.
Currently the only way to play this file format is with Pegasys’ own player. The format also can only be created with their PGMX Creator software. The creator software is pretty cheap at $40. Player software they give away for free (not open source).
I’d be shocked if they weren’t willing to license the format since they would have a financial gain if more players supported it.
Here is a link to their website and software products:
Simply put, these formats just don’t fit into the idea behind the Plex ecosystem. They hide content behind built-in menu systems. Not only would the menus add extra UI that a user would need to wade through to get to the content, but there also simply isn’t any good way that they could be presented in the myriad different Plex apps that are available – from iOS to Android, from the web browser to the Roku. It just isn’t feasible to try and present a DVD menu type interface in some of the devices.
