As of SEP 2018, remote access is garbage. I have it two stars because it was working fine seeing my home server. It no longer see it, even though on the uninstalled same device I am able it access my server via remote access, AND watch media in that server via PLEX with the regular app. I've restarted everything, uninstalled and re-installed the app. I'm using the proper headset (Daydream), and it's worked before. As of this point, it does not seem to access a server off network. I realize app development is hard, just got to say bring a Plex Plass holder, and feeling that Plex is such a substantial app right now I would hope the bugs would get fixed and worked out a lot more quickly than they are getting done now.

Dear Plex team. We need a solution to the "blue ring problem"!!! impossible to watch movies in VR without a controller as blue ring pointer doesn't disappear! downloaded plex vr especially for the "watch together" functionality and PAID for TWO plex accounts, only to have a blue ring hovering over the playback. this is a known glitch, discussed on you web forum. please fix, or refund the subscription.

They really should allow repositioning when watching 180 degree videos. This is a basic functional feature of ALL VR video apps and PLEX is seemingly ignoring requests build this. This App feels like the Microsoft Internet Explorer of VR video players. Same strange design choices which completely ignore the voice of their customers.

Would like the ability to drag 3D projections where I need them. My Pixel 2 drifts a bit and I constantly have to recenter--I'd prefer just dragging the image where I want it, and it'd be nice to be able to recline also. Skybox (another VR viewing app) has great functionality for this, so please take a look and perhaps a page from their playbook.

Remember now.... VR is still in it's infantsee stage of life and is just really beginning it's stage or phase of a beginning to be a toddler. you know getting it's wits about it but the little bastard still has a lot more to learn before it starts showing anytime app attitude like I have seen it advertising some ways. I do believe the future and we are is going to blow most people away. You will be grabbing your shopping cart and going up and down the aisles of your Amazon store literally shoppin
