On Deck is missing

This was a stupid move removing On Deck from both my movie and my tv show section to merge it in Home. On the deck is mostly important for tv series. It reminds you of shows you where watching and was a great feature before. Why remove it?

On Deck has simply been renamed to Continue Watching, and merged in with the previous Continue Watching hub, which contained items that were partially played. It still shows you what shows you were watching, and what episode is up next.

Yes I realize that, but why is it only six items in my tv sections I’m seeing and not the amount I set in my preferences. If you’ll change it to continue watching please fix the amount that I will like to set.

It sounds as if you’re not up to date with your server version. I suggest updating to 1.22.3, which fixes a bug where in some cases only six items were returned.

I will try. Thanks for the advice.

So my Plex just updated and this was a big NO-NO the second I opened the new version… The one-liner is horrible and when I added a new movie (I couldn’t even see it. It was like on the line 10 (I’ve got 15 libraries)… Not at the top as with last versions.

So I uninstalled it and installed last version where On Deck is still there. Will try update in a month, maybe someone fixes this.

choco install plex --version=1.30.1.2115

So will this be reverted as On Deck is a key part of Plex and this current ā€œimprovementā€ is made by someone who:

  • Is out of touch with the Plex community and the overall needs and intended design, On Deck and Continue watching are NOT the same thing
  • Does not use Plex on a day to day basis
  • Has no idea what good UX design is

This is happening so often in recent years that is does seem very clear the developers keep getting out of touch with their actual user base.
