Continuing the discussion from Plex for Mac and Windows:
Right after my Mac client auto-updated to the new Plex 1.34.1 desktop app, whenever I play a video file there appear to be scrollbars appearing and disappearing on the right and bottom edge of the screen. They blink on and off faster than once a second, so it’s super distracting.
It stops when I pause, and they are only present during video playback.
The client device is a Mac mini running macOS Mojave 10.14.6, connected to a 720P TV.
Also seeing the same effect.

This was also reported by another user on Reddit
So in the meantime, can I downgrade? I can’t seem to find any links on the downloads page for older versions.
I got the exact same thing, like a scroll bar at the right and the bottom of the screen
On Plex media player on Macbook pro 2017
Yes, I am experiencing exactly the same thing. MacBook Pro Mid-2015, MacOS Big Sur 11.4
Same issue here on MacPro 5,1 (2012) running Mojave. I pulled the v1.33.0 from my TimeMachine backup and replaced the v1.34.1. The blinkking white lines are gone. Hope they fix this soon.
Same problem here. I haven’t tried downgrading as I don’t see where to find old versions.
Thank you for reporting this. I’m able to reproduce to some degree on my MBP 11.5.2. I’ll file an issue for this.
Thank you. For me it flashes in and out at the bottom on two machines both OS 11.5.2. One 2020 Macbook Air and one 2019 15" Macbook Pro
Having the same issue on Mac Pro. Is there a way to downgrade in the meantime until this is fixed @Atomatth ?
Same issue. 2015 Macbook Pro 15". Blinking bars on the bottom and right side.
Current version 1.24.1.4931
Same issue here, MacBook Pro 15inch running macOS 11…5.2
Trouble is, almost every day when I start Plex app, is inmediately starts updating itself and I have to be quick to cancel that. I thought I had turned off automatic updates, but it happens anyway.
So very irritating. It seems very unlogical. But Mac users are often ignored so I shouldn’t be surprised…
the lower resolution you play at the more visible those bars are. very frustrating when watching very very old shows.
The download page has reverted back to the previous build. Media Server Downloads | Plex Media Server for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD and More
This is happening on my MacBook 16", running 1.34. I’ve reinstalled 1.33 from download page and it’s gone, must be a small bug in 1.34.
I know @Atomatth has already replicated and filed an issue (thanks for getting to it quickly), but just to join in with the ‘same here’ crowd (MacBook Air Mid-2012 - Catalina 10.15.7 - Version 1.34.1), and hopefully we’ll be updated in this thread when its working. Shall backdate to 1.24.1 for the meantime edit: or not as am using Plex for Mac not the server, which is still at 1.34.1, backdated to 1.33.1 by toggling the Plex pass downloads switch and having no issues
Strangely, I’ve had intermittent cases of it appearing in fullscreen, then disappearing when the cursor does, then reappearing when ‘Skip Intro’ comes up where it then stays flashing. Have also changed the sys pref for scroll bar options thinking it could be related (they stop flashing, stay a solid bar, and grow in width when the cursor is over them, akin to scroll bars), but it made absolutely no difference… Haven’t had any differences with changing resolution, window size, monitor, etc. They also disappear when it is paused but will appear then fade once when the UI comes up with cursor movement and likewise when the UI goes with inactivity (the vertical line also reduces in height when the UI disappears, from full window height to about 7/8th). If any of that is at all useful or not…!
I saw there was an update today for Plex for Mac (copied info below). Still seeing the issue persist after manually updating from 8/24 release to 8/26 release.
