Fix this new terrible app. Why in the bloody world did you destroy something that worked fine. I have tolerated a lot of your dumb choices, stupid add ons, useless products. No more.

ROLL IT BACK OR I AM GONE. Lifetime pass holder and enjoyed it for over 8 years.

After you do that stop changing things just because you can. [Web login](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201611836-plex-web-app-logs/) for local server access okay. The dumb tv thing, fine. This is officially a useless application and what took 2 clicks to get in a library now takes 5.

On a fire TV

Plex is moving the interface to make more money for ad revenue and rentals. We are now at the bottom of the food chain. Nvidia Shield is the only one holding out with older Andriod and Plex app. Its locked down

Just got smacked with the new Fire-TV Plex client interface and I agree - it now takes more clicks to do anything, Home favors more things that I don’t want to see, and the ability to rescan a library seems to be missing. I need to spend more time on it to see just what else is missing or made more complicated.

Lifetime pass holder here.

The lack of photos and poor performance were the last straw for me. Been test driving jellyfin for a day now.

This is your “New Coke” moment plex, please make the same smart choice they did.

And this is why I don’t update before reading the forums first, and another reason why I run Emby as well.

plus, library browsing is broken: can no longer navigate between alphabet list and the movie titles. scrolling up always brings you to the very first title.

looks like they had an AI code and test the app

Testing and quality were cut on many famous dead products.

E.T. the video game is calling you plex…
