They\u2019ve become less popular over the years as dedicated streaming devices (like Chromecasts and Roku players) have caught on, which is why Plex was planning on discontinuing the aging Plex Media Player TV application. However, due to popular demand, the HTPC app stuck around while Plex built a new version.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-807857\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Screenshot-2022-05-26-095324.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2256\" height=\"1269\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The new Plex HTPC application looks and works almost exactly like Plex\u2019s other TV apps.
