Plex Left Menu Requires Roku Restart

My temper is starting to notch up a few degrees. I just don’t understand why Plex coders can’t fix this without asking users to do these unnatural acts on the Roku. Not one of my Roku channels is having ANY trouble except Plex. I have 10 Rokus–3’s and 4’s–and while I’m probably an outlier in the number of Roku boxes, there are plenty of multiple-Roku users out there who don’t want to spend an evening doing all this stuff. HEY PLEX, PLEASE FIX THIS.

@Uncle_9, did you see @ljunkie’s message a few minutes ago? They’re on it!

If you aren’t already, consider installing the Plex Roku preview channel, if you’re eager to get the update ASAP.

Try out our Roku preview channel

There’s a reason to use a Roku.

We Roku Users (well, most of us) are seeing that right now.

I didn’t understand this at first!

Back doesn’t fix the problem once it occurs.

But pressing Back a few times, to exit the More menu before leaving the app, avoids the problem happening.

To augment this - if you Pin the Libraries you use, you can avoid entering the More screen at all, which will also address the screen saver scenario.

It’s clear, I was just confused. Thanks!

Why is anyone in More?

This defies logic.
lol

Thanks Volts. Very much. I read and replied to your post before I saw @ljunkie 's post. Anyway, yes, I’ve been on the Preview channel since Day-1. I am EAGER to see the end of this bug.

Thanks again.

Juice, I have multiple servers and multiple other things I choose not to pin to the Home screen. … More is how I get to them.

We’ve published an update to the preview channel that should fix the issue. Please give that version a try and let us know. Thanks again for the reports and sorry for the troubles!

Hello. I installed the update today (Jul 2.) Not sure yet. Only used the channel once. I will update. But, Thanks for the work.

I have been having this issue for the last few days on my TCL tv… I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app to no avail. I did find that if I go to system then power and reboot from there it will fix it one time… Then it’s broken again and I’ll have to reboot again to fix it. Super pain in the ass.

This is kicking up for me now too. Super annoying.

Just adding my “Me Too” to this. I have a TCL Roku TV, 2 Roku Ultra’s, and a new Roku Express 4K+, all seem to exhibit the same behavior. I’ll see if I can try the Preview version after work.

Plex for Roku has been the worst damn thing ever. I’m not totally sure what the issue is, but it crashes back to the Roku main screen almost every time I want to watch it.
