Bye bye music videos

Hey cool redesign! Now how do we watch our music videos on mobile platforms?

I’m wondering the same question - what is the plan for Music Videos? Are they just being completely dropped?

So starting TODAY, the new experience preview for Roku (Ver 8.4.0) brings back support for music and photo libraries.

But, what does this mean about the Plex app on other platforms?

We aren’t forgetting them, that’s for sure! Our team is focused on getting the new experience ready to release on our TV clients and restoring support for music and photos libraries everywhere, including our mobile apps. We don’t have a timeline to share yet, but will provide more information in the future.

Which clearly explains what the Roku beta client has to do with music videos and the mobile apps.

Thanks @tom80H — This is good news, assuming that the original Artist Local Media video files will once again be visible on the artist pages.
