Has anyone else had problems with the May2025 server release causing problems? After installing I could not stream from my server on plex app on Roku tv. Rolled back to previous server version fixed problem for now

1.41.7.9823 still have problem **non-ascii characters could throw an exception on parsing (PM-3565)

library cannot be save - message

I can’t connect to my Windows server via the Roku app for love nor money. Have they foisted the New [and not Improved] Experience on Roku users as well? Just super if so. :roll_eyes:
