There is no way that I can find to go up a folder on Plex Web. You can click the library name and go to the root directory but I don’t want to do that if I’m several levels deep. I can use the browser native forward/back but that doesn’t always work and there really should be a button to go back and also a path bar that shows what folder you are in (similar to finder/explorer/any folder navigator).

Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930

Do you mean navigating items such as TV shows?

If on the pre-play screen for an episode, you can click on “Season X” to see all episodes in a season, click on the show name to see all available seasons, or on the library name to see all shows in the library.

Nope, I just mean using the real folder view (Click on Movies/Videos/TV Shows and then click folder).

Use the back button in your browser.
