After watching a recording from home page the back button takes you the sixth item in sidebar not back to home

Server Version#: latest
Player Version#: 8.29.0.30433

Did something change recently in the updates for the player on Android TV. I’m asking because for a year I’d go and play recordings from the homepage and when done I hit the back button a few times and it would jump back to the homepage .

Lately that’s not what happens. I hit the back button and it goes to the sixth item in the sidebar five below the homepage. Which in my case is live TV and DVR. It’s just a little annoying it didn’t used to be this way.

Once you restart it back at the home page and you go through the process it goes back to the home page for a while until you play a recording and then it does it all over again. It’s got me wondering , if somehow I’m hitting the left arrow button instead of the back button but I never do because I’m sitting there with a bunch of episodes and if I hit the left arrow button I’d be going to the lower episodes. Seems like something changed or a new little glitches showed up.

Wondering if anybody else is noticed this.

It’s been happening for a while. I’ve seen at least one other report about this.

Yeah, even my thread was a dupe of an earlier report by @anon5074910. The easiest way to reproduce this is by clicking left right after first opening Plex.

Ok, thanks

It not just me. For Me it only just started doing this in the last month sometime. But now it doing it all the time.

I didn’t see the thread in the beta channel and made a post almost 3 weeks ago: Bug from recent change to Android TV navigation

It seems to have started from version 8.28. There’s even a bugfix note about navigation in the update. I don’t know what they were trying to fix, because I thought it was fine before.

People in the beta thread said that it wasn’t present in 8.29, but everyone in this thread seems to still see it.

This seems to have been fixed in 8.30.0.30648 :slight_smile:
