Major refresh issues since last update

Hi all, while I love the option for delete and all of the other items that were added what’s happening now is not good:

  1. Delete an episode. It stays on the screen even though it was deleted. It should go back to a previous screen that has at least one thing in it. If you hit back yourself you’ll get an error with Go to Home and retry. Retry will continue the error. Go to home will take you home but it isn’t refreshed so the deleted episode is still there.
  2. New content: Nothing updates anywhere. Doesn’t appear to be a refresh button either. You have to force quit the app and restart it to see the new content. It should get new content every time you go into the app again, and it should get push notifications from the server of new content and pull an update to the current screen if affected. (and it should be updating every time you go into a library which it isn’t currently)

The Google TV app (not android) has the same issue with refreshing since about May. Used to work great, but now it doesn’t refresh. At least there is a (buried) refresh option though.

Hi

Don´t know regarding 1)

But regarding 2) it should be sufficient if you go into a sub-category and then press “Go Home” in the top right corner for the app to reload the content.

But yes => It would be good if the app would trigger a refresh automatically, when xbox one is coming out of standby. I actually don´t want if to refresh every time I minimize it and go back to it because there would be a lot of unnecessary refreshes.

Maybe a refresh button would solve that.

At the very least, since I don’t think Plex can tell that the device came out of standby, only that it was activated based on my experience building universal apps (not xbox yet) it should check with the server and ask if there is anything new since the last time there was a refresh. (since push wouldn’t work while it was asleep) This is a few bytes of data going over the wire and should be trivial to implement.
