Yours will only do the home page,
mine will do both sidebar and home page.
Correct. No disagreement there.
There is no “Reset customizations” in the Avatar menu on my version of PMP.
Thanks to this forum: HOWTO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUS PLEX VERSION
I was able to download and install this version (and it works pretty good):
https://downloads.plex.tv/plexmediaplayer/2.5.0.792-1bc7f225/PlexMediaPlayer-2.5.0.792-1bc7f225-windows-x64.exe
Now if I can only find the newest version that is not all messed up!
I’ve found a workaround how to populate the sidebar in tv mode:

Ugh totally agree new interface is terrible. Everything is a mess and my keyboard shortcuts don’t work for skipping ahead. Back to the web interface for me again. The app just sucks.
Can someone provide me with a version NUMBER of PMP for Windows that is the most stable before the implementation of this new GUI?
I tried v2.33.1 but the Avatar has no menu items so I cannot find a way to access player settings.
I backed up a few revisions.
v2.13.0 has a settings menu that works so I will try newer ones from there.
v2.19.1 finds the server but hangs during starting up - never shows any movies or libraries. This version is of no value.
v2.23.0 finds the server but hangs during starting up - never shows any movies or libraries. This version is of no value.
v2.26.0 finds the server, shows movies but the top (to the right of the Home symbol) hangs spinning during starting up - so I cannot change views - I think it is trying to find libraries. This version is of no value.
v2.27.0 finds the server, shows movies but the top (to the right of the Home symbol) hangs spinning during starting up - so I cannot change views - I think it is trying to find libraries. This version is of no value.
With so many versions hanging I reinstalled v2.13.0 and verified that everything works.
v2.28.0 finds the server, shows movies but the top (to the right of the Home symbol) hangs spinning during starting up - so I cannot change views - I think it is trying to find libraries. This version is of no value.
v2.29.0 finds the server, shows movies but the top (to the right of the Home symbol) hangs spinning during starting up - so I cannot change views - I think it is trying to find libraries. This version is of no value.
v2.30.1 This version seems to work! Continuing to search for newer versions that work…
v2.33.1 This version verified not working! No Avatar menu at all so of no value.
v2.34.0 This version verified not working! No Avatar menu at all so of no value.
v2.35.1 This version verified not working! No Avatar menu at all so of no value.
v2.36.0 This version verified not working! No Avatar menu at all so of no value.
v2.37.2 This version verified not working! No Avatar menu at all so of no value.
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I have just learned that Plex Media Player will soon be abandoned Desktop AF | Plex
I,m sorry. The new desktop app lacks different functions. For example TV Mode , then it is not possible to set the AC3 output passthrough….
It seems like a great time to jump ship. Any suggestions?
