OK, we have tried to give the new app/UI a chance and just can’t do it. Nobody in the family likes it. No, I don’t/won’t use Plex to do online content, it was used for thousands of local movies and countless mp3s. With the new UI, what took a few seconds to do now takes several menus to do. That…

Not trying to be argumentative… but whats so different? I just logged into the webapp and everything looks the same to me just the online stuff is added on the left. Browsing my local library is done exactly the same. Again, not trying to be argumentative I’m curious to know what has changed and wh…

The old version of the Roku app is however only available temporarily.

We owners of the Amazon Fire TV complained just as…

I switched to Emby. The old plex app/channel has been made available for a limited time. I still really did not like it, as continuous play stopped after playing 4 or 5 episodes. I started using plex years ago for my local media needs. After reading many posts and articles about plex, it seems…

Same page man, same page. I ONLY use/used Plex for local media and hence I got the lifetime so I could easily watch/share my local media while not at home. With their changing from a media server into a market that is flooded with online content providers, then it no longer suits my needs. They w…

I installed MrMC on my Fire TV and this just might do the trick. I have a folder navigation once again. Thank you for the help Nigel!
