so here is also my testing of PLEX 2025.3.0 (844):
-
App feels still extrem laggy in comparison to current version and is kind of unusable. Feels like half my AppleTV cpu and ram bricked or the battery of the remote is empty and most of my clicks weren’t recognized. At this state its not even close to switch from beta to RC…
-
After startup there is no local media showing up. I need to go to libraries and mark as favorite, then go back to home and then my continue watching and other lists show up. Would be ok for a first start, but I have to marks as favorite ANY time I start the App, because the favorite mark get lost every time I close the Plex preview App.
-
I needed to enable feedback sounds to find out that my click was accepted. Often the cursor moves 3-5 seconds after the feedback sound and often there is no indicator where I am right now in the app.
-
Back button often did not work at all and have to click a second time
-
no background or logos at all for local media. only on universal watchlist backgrounds show up
-
no option to delete local media
-
sometimes the mini info stuck if I switch to another object. like on continue watching with first entry Family Guy mini info about next to watch episode. Switch right to SILO but the info kept staying Family Guys mini info above
-
Poster differ from current version to preview beta in watchlist (for example Megalopolis)
-
on discover the view with trending trailers there is above a tiny pixel row from recommended on your services which looks extrem poor. at first I thought of artefacts or broken beamer
-
recommended watchlist is missing items in comparison to current version. Seems to be limited to 20 items while current release can be set to higher entries
-
there is the same bug like in current version with continue watching in recommended watchlist, that the newest watch item doesn’t show up as first entry. It shows as the last 22 entry which is cut in beta by limitation and in current version it hides under “see all”
-
Watchlist and discover are again not ready to customize or interoperable with local items, like create (smart) playlists with watchlisted movies
-
watch from these locations is not ready now in beta, but there is also a bug in current with some locations like disney+ and magentaTV which can’t used right now, because disney+ just shows “not available in your area” after starting through plex. After quitting that popup, search in disney+ then the searched item shows up and can be played. MagentaTV is a problem about two apps (1.0 and 2.0). Plex references on magentaTV 1.0, but most users must use magentaTV 2.0 already
-
all in all there are so much more clicks needed as before, that this can’t be a good UI to be released and if this beta would be the current version, then I would not think about to buy a Plex pass again for that bad beta experience…
