I am a recent PlexPass subscriber and for the past few years have been using Plex on my AppleTV and Roku which has been a great experience – until recently.

I have a 55" TV and I can barely read the text in Plex on AppleTV. I uploaded a picture as an example, it gives me a headache just looking at the tiny font. Is this due to a new UI in the most recent version of the Plex AppleTV app (2.17)?

I believe with the recent update there is more information listed on screen, but I don’t recall the font being this small in previous versions. Either way, there is a lot of blank space that would allow larger font.

I am not sure if upgrading to PlexMediaServer-1.19.2.2737-b69929dab-x86_64 had any effect, so I downgraded back to PlexMediaServer-1.18.5.2309-f5213a238-x86_64 but this issue persists.

(I have searched this forum, but most of the posts have to do with increasing the Subtitle font which I understand can be done through the Settings > General > Accessibility on AppleTV.)

If the font size could be increased in a future version, or if there is a way to do so now through AppleTV settings, that would most appreciated.

This is a really important issue and I seriously hope that there is somebody in the development team that cares about accessibility. Please, do not default to small text because you are young and have perfect vision. Most of us over 50 have real difficulties reading the text in all your apps. Imagine a person with any serious visual impairment.
