Hi, Had a little while to play with the new app on iOS (so glad there is support for Multichannel Spatial Audio!), but have noticed the following missing features/bugs that I didn’t see listed on the Documentation page. ▶ UI/UX ▶ Subtitles ▶ HDR/DV ▶ Codec Support & Transcoding ▶ Live TV ▶ Metadata & Logos ▶ Do…

Rotate your iPad to portrait, then rotate it back to landscape, and then the logos and backgrounds will show up. Plex team has already stated that they aren’t yet focusing on the tablet experience, so it’s gonna be buggy for a while. EDIT: this only works on 11" iPads or smaller or 13" iPads with …

Hi @gksjohn can you provide some more details on which series you have that is not matched?

[image] dklein: FLAC Stereo audio tracks are transcoding to OPUS Stereo tracks when video is transcoding, rather than direct streaming. @dklein does this same behaviour also occur with the normal iOS app?

The same titles played in the current Plex app—even version 8.45 (9684) in TestFlight—will start playing immediately, can be scrubbed with excellent…

While scrolling through a large library, the app loads 40 titles + thumbnails at a time. At some point, it just … stopped loading any more. I had to switch contexts between Recommended and Browse, and switch back and forth between libraries a couple of times, before it finally decided to load more…

I am seeing similar behavior, except I haven’t even been able to get more than the first 40 posters. The scrollbar shows the page is quite long, though no posters beyond the first 40 appear.
