Deleting episode from show with only 1 episode causes app to crash

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645-ccb6eb67e
Player Version#: 2.17 (15246)

I use Plex to record Live OTA. Not sure if this problem applies to anything else I have because it’s only happened on recordings because I don’t delete anything else as a habit. And it only appears to happen on shows that have only 1 episode in the folder. Steps to reproduce are as follows:

  1. From the shows page, go up to the top and choose the season number next to Overview. In my case “Season 6” because it is “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” season 6. That way you can see the individual episodes listed out.
  2. Select the episode you want to delete.
  3. Hold down the select button (or whatever you have that mapped to if you are using a universal remote).
  4. From that list that comes up, scroll down to the bottom, choose Delete
  5. Another dialog comes up saying it will be deleted and can’t be undone, choose Delete again
  6. At that point the file gets deleted and you are kicked back to the main home screen of the Apple TV. (I call it the springboard just like on iPhones.)

I’ve had this happen to me MANY times now. I copied S06E13 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us out so I could put it back once it was deleted. I performed the operation 3 times in a row, each time getting the SAME results. I only downloaded the logs from it happening twice. The last time I did it was at 23:33 I think.

So, I find a bug in the new Apple TV version of the app, tell Plex people about it on Twitter, they tell me to come post it here, then it sits with no activity since then. Why did I need to come here to post about it if no one is even going to interact with the post about it? I’d just like to know if it is a known issue, if they are working on it, or something about the issue.
