Is navigation set or is Plex willing to make changes? When will the old app stop working?

Still waiting on a comment from staff. You released the beta to get feedback, you have to engage with the feedback for it to be useful.

Yeah I don’t get it either. I’m part of the Infuse beta testing group and there’s tons of back and forth when testing the beta. With Plex you wonder if they’re even reading anything posted here.

the usual feedback you’ll get from Plex on here is short, kind of rude and usually not helpful and usually depends on them telling you to upload server logs 100 times so they can stall and never answer you again.

How do you turn them all off on iOS or tvOS?

Mike.Kentin was referring to disabling the online media sources for the account.

And people wonder why some of us don’t keep current on server/client upgrades.

Between Google forcing sideloaded apps to be verified and forcing the UI/UX abomination on us, this may force my hand to Jellyfin sooner rather than later.

There’s no way Plex is going to validate their old app, and that’s literally the only thing keeping me around right now.

I want the hamburger menu back with my library sorted alphabetically or up to me, and anything else is unacceptable.

The way things are going, the Play Store version of the app is going to dip into the 3.x review score range, and new downloads drop off significantly once that happens.

How is the hamburger menu for libraries functionally any different than long-pressing on ‘Libraries’ in the new app? Both provide a vertical list of libraries that can be re-ordered. If that’s the primary issue you now have with the new app then maybe a reconsideration of whether the app is still ‘unusable’ may be warranted?

Just make the switch to Jellyfin. You can customize the css if things are too big on the frontend for you. Per device. It has the hamburger menu too

I have it running parallel right now, but there is a small gap in support that makes the transition less than ideal.

I want to stay with Plex, but only if changes are made. Given that I’ve been a paying customer, I feel I have the right to complain all that I want. If Plex gets tired of hearing my complaints, I’ll take a refund and walk away.
