A nice change I’d like to see is a toggle in Settings to quickly change certain parts of the UI for people that ONLY watch media from their own server, e.g. bottom nav allows you to quickly switch between libraries/library types, etc. Or even better, let us customise at least the bottom nav if you’r…

I give you the point that the bar was there before: I simply never noticed it because I found all Features on that bar useless. Why I notice the bar now is because these feaures have now been moved up („recommended“, „browse“ etc) for which the bar covers the titles of the movies in the 3rd row.

So can we just agree that the new way of getting to libraries is no quicker or ‘clutter-y’ than the old way? Seems there’s actual real issues which it would be better for Plex to focus on.

No. I stand by my point that the old way was better. there was one single menu for navigation (hamburger), and one single click brought you from movies to tvshows and back Now there are three ways to navigate (which is not better but just confusing) and to switch between libraries it now takes you…

I dont think I‘ll ever convince you of bringing the burger back. What would already make me happy is the possibility to pin my libraries to the bottom menu so i can simply navigate between them. Analogous to how we were able to pin libraries to the hamburger menu before. In the new app, currently …

[image] ManiMatter: Instead of library button (that opens menu that allows me to chose a library), i‘d want to pin tv shows & movies directly. I brought this up before this version was forced on us and this was said by Plex: [image] Lack of testing feedback Plex Experience Pr…

How was this allowed to be released to public? The new app is terrible and removes so much capability of the previous version. What is going on at Plex where they think this was acceptable? Is anyone replying to any of the negative feedback? Does anyone actually work at Plex? What a terrible user ex…

I am using Infuse for what looks like the duration. I hate the subscription model but it’s cheap and actually works. I am a project manager and everything Plex has done in this rollout reminds me of the sort of things you learn not to do in training.

[image] vovchyk: I hate the subscription model but it’s cheap and actually works. Then don’t subscribe. Infuse has a lifetime option and it’s worth every penny. Happy user here. They actually make their app better when they update it, unlike Plex.

I brought this up before this version was forced on us and this was said by Plex:

It may still happen, but they were aware this was a complaint long ago.
