I have been with Plex for several years. The new experience is horrible. Nevigating is not intuitive and is very clunky. The library scan does not seem to work. Even though I paid for a lifetime subscription i am considering switxhing platforms forever due to this new experience. I will give it unti…

If you dislike it that much, just install an older version of the client and set your Firestick not to auto update apps.

This isn’t a matter of dislike; the app is currently broken. After a restart, it gets stuck on the ‘upcoming next’ screen, and navigation becomes impossible. The only workaround is to reboot the FireTV. Overall, the entire app feels like a vibe-coded, wonky mess. There are just so many bugs. …

I concur. It’s horrible. So sloooooowwww. Autoplay next episode in a series locks up the app, library organisation is atrocious for anyone with several categories or more than one server. Everything takes way more menu nav, with each button press sluggish to the point of uselessness. Urghh.

We don’t need a work around, we need a usable app. Right now I look pretty stupid telling people they should get their own plex, when I show off this mess.
