I am wondering if the Plex movies have been disabled in MacOS Desktop Player?
Movies do show on all other platforms (iOS, Android TV) and app.plex.tv browser.
I reinstalled the player app, cleaned caches and lib but it still not showing movies. Am I doing something wrong or is Plex Movies not supported on MacOS Catalina.

Short answer: DRM

All the platforms which currently support the Ad-supported movies have a DRM mechanism built-in to the platform. This includes browsers in addition to your streaming boxes and mobile devices. In those cases we got the ability to playback DRM content fairly easily because the platform has the mechanisms built-in. This is not true of the platform on which the desktop app is built, but we are working on it.

See VoD Overview for list of supported apps.
