I have Plex Pass and version 8.12.1.22702 on my Android devices. There is no option for disabling new video player.

How did you get 8.12. version software? I check the google play store on my phone does not exist I got it straight from the Google Play Store. It could be that the APK for your device hasn’t been updated yet, or it could be that Plex are phasing rollout of the new APKs - mine was dated 26 January…
