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.
Many things can be fixed with jf plugins, e.g meilisearch plugin to fix search issues, there’s also a css only plex-like theme for it
I wanted to stay with Plex, I was a plex supremacist, even converted my buddies from JF to Plex, but I lost all trust in them. They also forced me to update my app because of their security issues, so I can’t even use the old version anymore. Rip
I’ve been using this for months now, and while the new drop down vertical navigation is better than the horizontal, it’s still less user friendly than Plex has always been.
Getting to the drop down navigation from within the library requires more than just a quick scroll to the left. The navigation isn’t accessible from anywhere in the app, you have to keep hitting the Back button to literally back all the way out of your current location within your libraries/collections to re-access the navigation. Having access from any screen is much more fluid and easier, particularly for family members who are less savvy.
Thank you. This is exactly why I and so many others are upset about the changes.
Yeah I still don’t understand why Plex has been so adamant about “this is the way the navigation is going to be now, and we don’t care what you think.”
I mean there is some good in the New Experience version - the screens look fresher, updated, etc…it’s just getting around that feels so janky. You can really tell that hosted media is a 2nd class citizen in the app.
