Collections used to be a grid of posters when you viewed the contents (same as library, 15 posters on one screen, and scroll down to view more five at a time). After the last update when you view a collection you only see 5 posters as run on list at the bottom of the screen, and pushing right only reveals one additional movie each press. This makes scrolling and navigating collections much more difficult. I’m using an Nvidia shield.
Any chance this UI change can get reverted back to the way it was?
Thank you. I’d suggest offering the same controls as a library. My non-verbal disabled daughter can’t read the titles and depends on the posters in grid view.
Thanks, because for a series with a lot of chapters and seasons, is easier the grid, because the most important use is to find the next chapter to see, not the description of the episode.
I know this has been acknowledged as a bug already, but this is very frustrating for 2 reasons.
nobody ever asked for this feature
it’s been acknowledged but doesn’t seem to be getting fixed for one of Plex biggest audience.
This is super annoying as I have a lot of movie collections which I now have to spend minutes scrolling through to look for items.
I bought a lifetime Plex pass and now considering going back to Kodi because so many things are changing and not once has it been optional for the users.
If the UI or functionality is ever going to be changed, there should always be a configuration option which the paying user should be able to use to revert back until the user is comfortable with the changes.
I feel fed up now chasing all the changes and getting used to them.
Please don’t get me wrong, I love progression but too many changes with no options to turn these functional changes on myself is frustrating.
Also waiting on this fix. We have an animated collection for our daughter with about 300 movies in it and it takes forever to look through it now. We also need filter functions on collections through the nvidia platform like there are on the desktop version (sort by title, date, etc).
Okay, thank you. You confused me because you put double quotes around “fixed”. That implies the word has a meaning that is not what the audience expects.
Did you like it? I’ve been living with it for the normal TV season views, since I generally am watching things linearly anyway, but for Collections of items that are not tied to watching in a alphabetical or chronological order (like holiday movies) it just makes it more of a hassle to get to a certain program.
Not to toss your own words back at you, but if you don’t like a row view or a view that uses vertical scrolling, what would the view be then? Any type of ring or “carousel” display view is just horizontal scrolling with wrap-around.
One thing that bugs me about the current (scrolling) view is how everything is left-aligned. If the playback buttons were simply shifted to the right side of the pre-play screen, you could fit more lines of synopsis in. Or maybe move everything down and make the thumbnail row larger (reducing to four or three episode tiles on screen at once, instead of the current five).
