On Deck / Continue Watching

What is the last version of PMS that still had the separate On Deck and Continue Watching?

Not looking to rehash old discussions about UI changes that the developers don’t care about anyway, nor am I interested in discussing the virtues/horrors of always having the most up-to-date version of PMS.

I feel like it might be 1.21.1, but I’m not sure. I hope it’s a later version…

Thanks!

That merge happened literally years ago. Using such an old server version might

  • make you vulnerable to security bugs which have since been fixed in newer versions
  • might not even work anymore in general, because the backend on plex.tv has been developed as well in the meantime and can therefore no longer support such old server versions

Yup, I fully understand the security concerns. I certainly am not recommending anyone else run the same version I’m running!

The backend works for everything but remotely streaming Live TV & DVR and remote access via the web for my current version of PMS, and that suits me just fine. None of the features or UI changes that have happened since are anything I’m interested in enough to want to trade away my current experience. I was just looking to see how far I could upgrade without losing too many useful features.

I’ll just experiment with different versions in a sandbox.

Thanks!

I’m still running Version 1.22.0.4163 for the same reason. I think 1.23 is where that change started.
