Plex thumbnails

Thumbnails for Plex are stretched and it looks bad.
When editing/changing the thumbnail via plex it doesn't seem to update in skybox vr. I've tried the refresh and reloading it seems to keep the first thumbnail.

Plex needs a rework
I would like to see my plex library immediately after I select the plex folder.
Sorting of titles should be done via a drop-down menu instead of navigating through pre-sorted folders. Perhaps we could have more detailed search abilities as well, like searching a specific year.
It would be nice to have thumbnails that are in portrait format similar to how they appear in the plex apps.
Support resuming a movie. e.g. Start watching on a tv and then switch to vr.

Hello, thanks for your feedback!

Do you use the latest Beta version 1.1.2?

If you add custom thumbnail for your video, the thumbnail will get stretched when you play the video from Plex. We recreate the issue and we'll fix it later.

Do you click the "pen" icon in the bottom left of the video and edit/change the poster via Plex? If so, we also reproduced the issue in v1.1.2, and we'll fix it in the next few updates.

Regarding the search function, we plan to add this feature in the future. Thanks for all your suggestions and feature requests!

Hi,
Yes I am currently using Beta 1.12
I'm glad you're aware of the issues

Yes, I access the poster selections by clicking the pen icon in the plex apps (windows and web).

I messed around a little today and figured out I could update the plex poster icons in skybox by clearing the cache in settings... although, It changed some other plex posters to frame thumbnails when I did that.

Hello, the two problems should have been fixed in the new Beta v1.1.2(1164).

Please click Global Settings and turn on Show FPS to check the version number. Also, please click the "Clear" button (in Global Settings) to clear cache. Then the thumbnails should display correctly.

Let us know if you have any other problems!
