In September, Plex changed the Roku UI and many of us made a lot of noise requesting that the change be reverted. Plex employees made it clear that would not be happening, and many supporters suggested giving it some time and letting them work the bugs out. I have come to define this as the “Vista”…

Yup… that’s it. Kilgry did a better job expressing it in fewer words… :slight_smile: One similar thing as you mentioned is my users actually use the collections tab now. They never really “noticed” it before. But overall we all just kinda live on Home Screen - not saying that works for everyone th…

[image] Insomnic_1: my users actually use the collections now. Exactly! I’ve been trying to push them to the Collections for years. When your library becomes large, it’s almost impossible to just “Browse.” Collections can provide, if setup well, a way to spark interests and sort content in i…

Sorry, but that blanket statement is not really true for all, certainly for me and I’m quite sure for many others. I would still keep separate libraries for different media I don’t want in collections. I don’t want documentaries in the same library as series, collection or not. I don’t want anime se…

[image] D_eight6: Now you’re trying to force everyone to migrate and they already put in the time and energy of creating their system how they want it. I don’t know why it’s a bother to you when it’s not your server. I don’t think I’ve been telling people what to do or how to do it. The quote…

I’m not on any preview or beta channels for this. So exactly, how did they mess this up?
