Downloads fix

This is less of a feature suggestion and more of a fix an existing feature. The downloads function is completely unusable now. I see no mention of Plex being aware the function has both missing features (download next x unwanted) nor the fact that even downloading a single items is now incredibly slow and pauses constantly. This was working very well prior to the new update on the app. What gives? Can we get someone to respond to this issue. It is clearly not working as intended.

Same problems plus:
My existing downloads are no longer viewable by show/season. Every episode is all listed flat. All downloads are now being transcoded despite having original quality selected. All new TV downloads now error out after downloading with “Connection Failed”. The new app is also very sluggish at times.

I don’t notice too much issue with the app other than the downloads. I’ve hit an issue with needing to restart the Plex container as the playback is unresponsive… That hasn’t happened in many months. It feels rushed and I wish this was an opt in beta over a forced release

dude we know. Just look at the other hundred threads complaining about this. The new app broke a lot of things. Like go read some posts before making the hundredth one over the same exact thing.

I found the place to restore the old app version here:

Do any of those give an estimate on when functionality will be restored?

the devs respond in this thread sometimes

best to just revert back if you can. I assume it will take 2-3 months.
