New iOS App doesn't download only optimize

hello.
First of all I would like to say, that this version Plex for iOS is the most awkward and uncomfortable UI/UX I’ve ever seen. If I had seen this earlier, I would never have bought Plex Pass.
I bag you to stop making a “new experience” but concentrate to bug fixing and QA - it’s really bad now and going worse day by day.

but let’s move futher to the problem.
STR:
New App for iOS (hey, you’ve lost Russian language!) → Downloads → download any movie from the Library.
the previous version started downloading immediately with on the fly transcode at PMS, iPhone didn’t fall to sleep\wait until download is finished.
the current version is starting version optimization on PMS and… iPhone goes to sleep\wait mode. after resume it does nothing to download but start new optimization at PMS.

more interesting on the server side!

1. these is no optimization indication.
   
   
   
   whare are the conversations???
   I see “Plex Transcoder.exe” process and it do something, but PMS shows “no Conversations”.
   
   
   
   and YES - you broke (or negatively corrected?) the GPU usage once again.
2. console is full of errors (STR: let iPhone sleep and enjoy watching console output)
   
   
   
   thousands of the same errors.
   but wait, what is about the storage?
   the storage has more that enought free space
   
   

let’s move back to iPhone - something went wrong

failed. again and again failed.
this is full app and iphone version

conclusions:

1. app for iOS is not usable
2. there is a problem with sleep\wait mode
3. lost translation to Russian
4. optimization processes are excluded from the PMS GUI
5. optimization processes has unclear CPU only usage, GPU is idle
6. some space calculation (I believe that the root cause is the same with “Access Denied” I’d posted earlier) or error message handling\parsing.

the only one question I have now: how to download Movies to iPhone with PMS?
I hope (and cross my fingers) that it won’t take you one more year to admit another mistakes.
