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…

[18%20AM] Interesting. When I click on edit, I get options for Disable/Enable/Managed users choices I’m a plexpass member. I’m looking at my local server on port 3400. NOT the desktop web version. **Just double checked - plex.tv/desktop shows the same options. YMMV.

The Fire interfaces suck horribly as well tho - Long time user, 15 shares, no one is really angry… just lots of user confusion and stupidity. I’ve got them trained to use search, and search by interest topics, or click on interests, but WOW. Nothing has gotten easier. Just more convoluted and inc…

elan CTO and Co-Founder I’m sorry, but per the blog and the post above, plug-ins are not coming back (at least not in their current form). To reemphasize, less than 2% of our active users actually use them , so I would hesitate to call them a key feature (while realizing that different features are…

Search is yet another issue. Even if I disable all those outside services, search returns results from ALL of them. It’s VERY confusing for non-technical family members.

Personally, I thought / think plugins SUCKED. Rarely worked, and I had most of them. Clunky, slow, and just plain not great. The only plugin worth a ■■■■ was subzero, and Plex has fixed that with Auto Subtitles from a variety of sources. I occasionally used the search and update plugins, but most pe…

[image] bigjohns97: Have always wondered why someone would use Plex or Emby inside Kodi. Kodi is not a media server. It’s a reasonable client with excellent playback features but there are no centralised library features to share out among local & remote clients. I find that using MrMC with …

So, I use PKC with Kodi due to the lack of a proper subtitle support. Kodi let me change subtitle color, plays ass/ssa without a flaw and furthermore I can customise the UI/Skin. @elan Sorry, but if you would read through all the forum including the deleted ones you will see that the most people h…

[image] Xferman: d Yeah I quit using the Fire TV version of Plex back when they f’d it up and made it look like crap. I now use Kodi with the Plex for Kodi add-in which works well (until they decide to f it up too).

As I said before, we didn’t disable them in the retro version; I’m not sure why they’re not working for you. As per the blog post, we’re usually removing from apps as we perform bigger upgrades. Given the Roku app was a complete rewrite, that’s why it happened there.
