Player Version#: 2025.16.0

When I launch Plex in Fullscreen, the app forces portrait mode until I start watching a show. I would like the app to respect my table being in landscape mode when browsing the libraries. This happens offline and online

The app ui has always only been in portrait. I don’t believe that’s changed for the new app.
