Of all the things I want them to fix, the thing on the top of my list is the 16 library limit. There’s no way to see your other libraries if you have more than 16 in the new PE.

Can no longer use Plex since the update auto installed on iOS as there is no compatible server version for my asustor NAS, thanks a lot for that it’s very cool.

Pretty pissed at the loss of music functionaly. Totally senseless to strip out a perfectly working and functional part of an app.
And why can’t I turn off the useless Live TV and Discover buttons? Waste of space. I don’t want that crap so why can’t I bin it off!?

You can, but it requires completely disabling those features at the account level. The first part of this post discusses how to do it:
According to the release notes, as of version 2025.13.0 the Live TV navigation tab is removed as well, if disabled at the account level and you don’t have a tuner configured. I can’t confirm this as I use an OTA tuner.
This is correct.

Can anyone advise if the latest 2025.13.0 fixes the battery drain/warm to the touch issue?

While it addresses a number of other issues, I’m still seeing the battery drain issue on my iPhone 13 Pro.

WOW, what an absolute clusterfork! Sonos all over again! Terrible roll-out of an Alpha level release + price increases + feature removal + slow access + jerky playback ++++ and all the time the c-suite just keep on pushing ahead without regard to the very people who make their bonuses possible.
Exploring JellyFin while canceling our auto-renewal of Plex Pass on the App store (and giving this pile a 1 star review).
Those who refuse to learn from others who fail will crash and burn like they did. Sonos is the current greatest example of HOW TO RUIN a perfectly good tech company in less than a year.
GOOD BYE PLEX!

Me too, I will leave that f**ing company. Unbelievable how the kill a good running system, only driven by money making.
I will return to Emby. Bye Plex!

Thanks, I’ve managed to get rid of Discover but Live TV remains. My app hasn’t updated to the latest one yet so that could be why (App store reports no updates to install so I guess it will take a while to filter through)
No matter, I’m very sore about chunks of the app being split off into seperate apps. I don’t want seperate apps to view my media and neither do my family who I share it with - it’s just an extra layer of messing around for me and them.
I’ve started to set-up and install Jellyfin for a more back to basics approach of just sharing personally owned media without all the commercialised crap layered on top. I’m getting a bit tired of Plex messing around with the core point of what it used to be for and bolting on stuff that isn’t needed and even worse than that - messing around with stuff that actually worked nicely for the most part.
This reminds me of Microsoft - every time they push out a new feature the first thing I do is Google for a registry hack to get rid of it because most of the time it’s something nobody needed or asked for and really the time would be better spent fixing the ■■■■ that doesn’t work (and probably hasn’t worked for ages!) and focussing on feedback from customers who request stuff that they do actually want to see all the time but get ignored.

Is there a time frame for when the next iOS patch is coming?

I managed to get back to the former app on iOS. There is an excellent guide here on the forum.
I suggest everyone to do so. Let‘s stay Plex alone with their fu***ing terrible new app! Shall their incapable developers use that crap app alone.

Heh that made me chuckle. What matregotz hit on is the solution that Plex should be providing natively for all users – access to the legacy app via the app stores while they sort out this horrendous new app. It’s not the developers that are at fault here, it’s Plex’s senior leadership team. They decided to release a broken product and force it upon users, knowing it wasn’t ready. Plex as a server still works great – metadata scanning issues not withstanding – it’s just the clients that suck. Plex, listen to your users and just put out a legacy app in the app store that we can all install. Make this new app a “next gen” app or something, that we can opt into and test in tandem. It’s a simple fix, and a way to make your user base happy. This isn’t hard stuff to understand.

I actually have synced all play states to emby and will use Emby.
Just tried the hint to get the former app runing.
But playback is much better, especially for live TV, on Emby, so I will definitively change to this platform.

You just substituted one closed source platform for another. Buckle up because this will happen again on the Emby side at some point.

+1 for making the legacy app available while working on the new app.
What Plex isn’t getting is that most people have a single “go to” client app. If the functionality doesn’t work in their primary client app, then the functionality effectively doesn’t exist for them.
I keep a Jellyfin instance running as a backup for Plex. I’ve never really had a need for it until the other day when I needed to do coordination of new OTA recordings. The new android Plex app literally doesn’t have the functionality available. Just use the web app? Seriously? Have you tried looking at the web app from a mobile phone? What am I supposed to do, lug a laptop around until Plex gets this straight? So Jellyfin it is, at least in the short term. I’ve used Plex for years, and this is the first time it has completely let me down.
This is so sad because it is easily avoidable.

I’m going to futz with this tonight and see if I can get things playing nicely together: GitHub - luigi311/JellyPlex-Watched: Sync watched status between jellyfin, plex and emby locally
If it works as advertised, I’ll be sitting in Jellyfin for the near term (hopefully) until Plex sorts out the issues. If they never do, Jellyfin it is.

I’m having an issue on the new android beta app where my library does not show up. It does show up on the public release version of the android app. I wrote a thread here:
