I still have my collections in Dynamic/Smart mode. Will that be okay? I can convert one collection to static before I send it to you.
Not sure this is the result we are looking for…

It loads some sort of default view and then loads my custom images.
“Spartacus” took over 30 seconds to load the custom images. Video was too big to post here.

Notice too how the function buttons do not load until the final change.
I am having similar issues. Some titles will not load at all. Remove collection tags help somewhat. On latest version of plex ios.
It would be funny if all this slowdown was caused by one single important column used specifically for static collections that was not being indexed. 
This is still happening in 2026.9.0.
Edit: maybe not. Strange, my Plex updated today and I was on 2026.8.0 and now I’m still on 2026.8.0.
There is a PMS change incoming that also makes improvements to the related collections call that is at the root of this issue.
Does this mean in the current beta, or a future one? If in current, I’ll try it out. Otherwise, I only install public releases. Thanks.
Not this latest beta 1.43.2. There will be a release note that calls out collections and should be easy to associate to this issue. I’m not sure when it’ll be in a release. Soon 
Looks like this issue is back on 2026.9.0
For me it stilll works in 2026.9.0 (still extremely slow to load), so seems like selectively impacting.
still not seeing any updates regarding this, so I’m bumping this thread.
Atomatt says the speed fix is coming in a future PMS update.
We are just waiting for the PMS update.
