Hello,

I’m not sure if it is a feature of the newest player or I changed something I shouldn’t have. The libraries is a selection at the top middle of my plex player running on my Roku Ultra.

I think the player version is 8.6.5

The interface looks very clean without the libraries but it just seemed somehow more efficient for me when it was on the left hand side.

I have a number of categories in my libraries and really miss selecting between them on the left hand side. I can include a picture of it without the menu on the left if I’m not clear. I just don’t know how to put it back.

That is the new layout, no more side menu.

The lack of side menu is a backwards step for me. Each UI revision should make the system easier to operate, with less UI interaction to access my content, not more.
