Plex and IPv6

Is there any timeline for making Plex fully IPv6 compatible?

Currently you can enable IPv6 support for the server and connect to it over it's IPv6 address from a web browser. But it's only the front end that connects over IPv6.

I have an IPv6 tunnel with Hurricane Electric's Tunnelbroker.net service which also gives me a pulic /64 I currently have the tunnel endpoint on a desktop PC which advertises the /64 to all other devices on my network.

So with a separate laptop on my network I connected to the server over it's public IPv6 address using Chrome logged in and played a video. All well and good - or so I thought.

However I then turned off IPv4 on the laptop, Meaning as far as it was concerned it only has access to IPv6 - now although the server lets me into the opening screen the Laptop reports it can't access the server.
So it's clear that the IPv6 connection is a shell. Most of the background conversation still takes place over IPv4.

Contrast this with Netflix, not only can I play videos in Chrome with IPv4 turned off, but the Netflix App in Windows 10 also streams over IPv6 only as well.

With Many ISP's now implementing IPv6, surely it's time true IPv6 support for Plex was given a higher priority?
