I can no longer see ALL my TV shows on my Plex app on iOS. When I click “TV Shows” from the hamburger menu, it takes me to the super clever screen with all the sections like “Continue Watching”, “Recently Released Episodes”, and “Recently Added in TV Shows”, and more even less helpful categories. Next to each of these is a “View All”, but that just means “View All Recently Released” or “View All Recently Added”. There is literally no possible way for me to simply view all the shows I have.
You’re on the Recommended tab for the library. This is what it looks like in the Web app but you’re looking for the same thing. Here it’s at the top, on android it’s at the bottom
I don’t have an iOS device but it’s there somewhere
There is also a setting “remember selected tab”
If you tic that box it will stay where you left it
The UX you show in the image is simply not on my device. I have no tabs at the top, nor do I have tabs at the bottom. I used to, but some brainiac removed them in an update at some point, and now I have no way to get out of Recommended.
When you scroll on the view/page, the bottom bar will slide out of view (hidden). Try dragging on the screen and the bottom tabs should slide-in to view again.
Not sure what you mean by “try dragging on the screen”. When I hold on the background and drag right, it just brings up the nav menu from the left. Any other directional movement does nothing. If I hold and drag on any of the recommended show icons, the bottom 3/4 of the screen becomes a context menu for that show, with options like (Play, Add to Playlist, Go to Show, Go to Season, etc). While this is at least a hacky workaround to get to seasons for the show, I’ve found no way whatsoever to see those tabs you speak of. I can’t figure out how to simply see all of my TV shows when it used to be so easy.
I’d have to say that over time, the UX of Plex has gotten steadily worse and more inconvenient and unintuitive to use over time. I have multiple servers I use, and it takes increasingly more clicks to get to them (e.g. hiding them behind a “More…” menu item). Not sure who is driving the UX, but the direction has been steadily anti-user in my opinion. If Plex were to simply go back about four years in their UX it would get a massive intuitive and usability boost.
