Does PMS release Version 1.22.3.4392 alter the way the multiple versions count seen in the blue circle appearing in the upper left of a movie/episode display item? After I upgraded Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 the versions count is now missing

Server Version#: Version 1.22.3.4392
Player Version#:
Plex Web#: 4.56.4

This all worked fine until upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. Now I get no version counts in a blue circle. I’m hoping there is a setting I’m overlooking that would restore the versions count number.

Nope, Plex have decided to remove them in the latest web app.

There is a feature request:

but based on the reponse I don’t expect they will bring them back.

For me now, I no longer see the duplicate badge when view movies in my library. This behavior has just recently changed. Not sure how to map my PMS version the to the “4.53.0”, but my posters in the library view have badges no longer. Was hoping it was a bug or settings that changed, but it appears badges are on the way out? My PMS version is behaving as if “4.53.0” is active. I for one would like to vote to restore the badge on the poster, but keep the new “versions” field when viewing the media details page. For a maintenance perspective, it would be nice to retain the version badge on the poster since it would easily indicate items that have duplicates.

It was removed in Plex Web 4.53.0 and replaced with something else…

I understand the duplicate badge was removed from the poster in the media details page. I’ve read other reports where the duplicate badges are still visible when viewing a movie library. So for me, I don’t get duplicate badges anywhere any more and I’m trying to decide if posters in the library view are supposed to still have them.

Only appears in library view, i.e. if you filter duplicates, otherwise the badge is gone, see below for movies:

My understanding is they now have the filter built into the library, and the badge is gone:

Restore Duplicates Badge removed in Plex Web 4.53.0

It looks like even the badges where removed from the library view in 4.56.4. This request is to restore a way to identify duplicate easily while visually viewing one’s library. You can vote if you agree.

Yes, this seems to be the case although still not sure if it is bug or a “feature”. But probably the latter.

There seem to have been so many changes recently with no clarity if they are bugs or features.

Yes, I agree. Removing the duplicate badges was intentional. Hopefully they can decide on a way to restore duplicate visibility from the library view.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posts on this issue!

I’ve added my vote in the features suggestion post by FordGuy.

I can live without the badge itself really - as admin it’s useful but the duplicates filter works for maintenance and I already split movies with different content versions - but the versions listing being used I would like to see be given a bit more functionality as a reference.

Seeing:
Version

There are 2 versions listed there, but 4 commas without a character to separate the versions clearly. Personally, I’d prefer something like 4k\AC3, 1080p\AAC or even 4k(16.7Mbps), 1080p(4.7Mbps).

It would also be nice to have the “1 more” additional click through to see the extra versions only kick in if there are actually “2 more” behind that additional click. Just a thought.

Just adding here since this it may be relevant, I’ve written patches that bring this functionality back, more details in my other comments in that thread + a repo to the patch.
