I had to signup for the forum just to comment on this. This is too bad to be true, I was hoping some weird sh*t had happened to my tv before I googled to check if other people were complaining.
Every complaint is true and deserved: the new interface is ABSOLUT RUBISH. And no, it’s not that people aren’t keen to change – the truth is that most serious and demanding users (who love plex) don’t put up with such downgrade. I have my doubts this interface would have any success in late 90’s. And it’s painfully slow, unresponsive, design-wise purely disgusting (type, grid, organization, background, actor’s portraits), and there’s people even complaining about crashes. To be absolutely honest, crashes were the only thing I didn’t experience as I couldn’t hold on much longer looking at this crap. And to think I recommended Plex to virtually everyone I know…
Absolutely broken for me. Nothing plays. Gives an H4 codec error. Also, does not establish direct connection to server on LAN. I’ll mess with it more later but I’m dumbfounded how they allowed this to be forced on everyone when it’s so clearly not ready.
I have a few movie libraries (i.e. UHD / HD) and it now ONLY showing me the first UHD library while the only way to access the other library is to manually search for a title.
the scroll wheel on my remote is no longer working (yes I have the magic remote) but can’t scroll (!)
Please fix this at leat or let us roll back to the old version for now
Couldn’t agree more with the comments. The “update” to my LG Plex is terrible. Confusing navigation, convoluted media management that jumbled together several of my servers… absolutely the worst update I’ve seen. I haven’t seen any response from Plex? Where are they?
Yep.
Plex have adopted the policy of stupidly oversized tiles. It’s a WIP to bring it to every client.
It originated with tvOS I think. Sadly the implementation there works, because plenty of thought went into it Unlike every other client.
so I found the libraries by clicking on the ‘movie’ icon then ‘down’ on my remote which then shows all libraries, the scrolling however still doesn’t work
Still, this is a terrible UX upgrade, the actor titles are 2x-3x then the actual movie itself. Not sure what Plex folks were thinking here.
I’m having similar problems to what everyone is describing. I’ve also found that some of my 4K videos will no longer play with out buffering constantly. They worked perfectly on the previous version. PLEASE ROLL THIS BACK PLEX!
I have the same problem with my LG webOS3.x, the UI on plex turned into this amazing useless piece of C%#P last night.
I thought I had done something to make it happend and tried to fix it last night, but to no use!!.
And the functionality of the UI is absolutely useless and not in any possible way user friendly, and what’s up whit the giant sized posters??? Please tell me that it’s possible to resize them!!!
OH, and try to disable “include in dashboard” and see what happends !!
But come on, this have to be a bad joke from plex side!!! Please say it is so!!!
So is this the UI we have to live with in the future???
.
This ridiculous new UI is coming to all Plex clients. Its already on many and it is just the worst user interface I have ever seen. I don’t know what genius decided to ruin Plex but he/she is doing a great job.
