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.

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.
