Why a company would shut down the feature that so many of their users rely on is beyond me! With this new app Plex has released for PC and Mac, users can no longer use an interface designed for a TV screen, they can’t even navigate the app using a keyboard!! This is such a backwards step and a slap…

Hummm, I’m lost, correct me if I’m wrong what the plex team are going to do is, kill the Windows Store Plex APP, and they are going to start putting all the “development” in the new Epic Game Plex APP, soy they will “kill” the Plex Media Player app, to have only one APP, instead of two. What I get …

The issue is that they are removing the htpc/tv interface and the possibility to use keyboard/remotes to control plex in windows and mac.

Ok, so the complain is that the new app, its not going to be “tv” friendly, but you cant use the web instead?

Hum thanks for all the explanation, I never use plex like that, I always have plex in a power pc with and a TV app (with the TV remote, and the Surround of the TV), so for me, having a windows just to run plex its kind of overkill for nothing, but I get what you are saying. And its kind of lame tha…

The TV interface is already exists in the old app. I don’t see it as being an impossible amount of work to just port that over to the new app. What the Plex team seem to want is to force their original users, the ones who supported them, who advocated the Plex system to their friends and who gave t…

Voted! It is absolutely mission critical for me to have TV mode on my HTPC. Pelase, Plex, keep it going.

Has Plex announced they’ll be removing the download for PMP or making the server incompatible with it?

[image] Krazeh: Has Plex announced they’ll be removing the download for PMP I don’t think they’ve specifically said they’ll take the download offline (though I may be wrong there!). But it would make sense for them to do so since the product is being retired. It would definitely be a good ide…

Currently, the PMP Announcement thread has started including direct links to recently released versions and that’s how the releases will go from here on out. I don’t expect that those links will go away – but you could easily create your own archive of links or actual installs.
