In Plex for Android, you can specify which library to record to, but not which library directory, as you can on web or Plex. This is important based on which hard drive is about to fill up, or close to filling up–PMS itself doesn’t always make great automatic choices here, so I’ve taken to doing this manually. It would be great if this feature could be added to Plex for Android. It is much more pleasant to schedule recordings using a touch-screen interface, rather than click-click-clicking around on Roku (which necessarily causes whatever live TV you were watching to pause while you’re setting up the recording), or else having to open up my laptop. Thank you for your consideration.

This behavior has neither been changed nor commented on. Surely I can’t be the only person that has a recording library with more than one location and who would like to be able to choose which one to record to via the Android app? The ask here is for feature parity with other Roku client apps that already have this ability, nothing more. Please take this under consideration, it would be awfully convenient, particularly while on-the-go.

It is a bug that you cannot change the library directory. Afaik it is on the list of recent regressions and should be fixed soon but I cannot give an exact timeframe
