I see that on my Shield there is an update to the plex client dated 14th July 25. Where can I find the release notes for this update please?

If you haven’t updated yet, I’ll suggest you don’t. I also asked a dev about the lack of changelog and got ignored. It’s a strange update too. They definitely changed things because it causes the seekbar to pop up when pausing a movie for example. It also causes live TV to disconnect every like 10 …

[image] d2freak: Its the 10.28 version Pretty sure I’m on 10.30.2.xxxx or something like that, I’ll confirm when I get home later. I’m also on the beta channel for the client …

Are we talking about the same thing? This is the old experience Shield Client. There isn’t a beta for that is it? Edit: ok there is, apologies. These have no changelogs either.

The only thing I see from July 14 is an Android beta that included an internal release note about a Google library update, which we typically don’t expose in public release notes for various reasons. As I don’t know about or have visibility into the shield deployment process I don’t know if this was…
