New LG webOS App Preview

Other “regression” from the prior client. Previously, if you paused a video and switched to another input/app, the client would stay paused. This was useful because you could go back to the app and start back where you left off like other apps work (Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, etc.). Now, the new client has removed the X button to indicate stopping playback, and swapping to another app/input automatically takes you back to the home screen.

This is actually a major issue for people running webOS 2 or 3 because of the below bug which remains unsolved. It basically means you cannot leave the Plex client at all, or else you’ll be forced to resume playback, which if you were transcoding, is basically a no-go. So not only is it inconvenient, it basically exacerbates a critical bug which seems highly unlikely to actually ever be fixed.

EDIT: I can’t resume playback at all for this movie. Even if I select to start from where I left off, it always starts from the beginning, including the preroll.
