Server Version#: 1.22.3.4392 Player Version#: 1.31.0.2254-43df1e6e(local), 4.56.4 (web) This issue appears in Plex web and Windows 10 client but not in local access or Android app. Library is always in “Movies” mode even if it was earler selected to “Folders” mode. Also when selecting the “Folders…

Also. You say this affects web app. But from what I can tell it also affects Windows and Mac apps (which apparenly are just instances of the web app). So any way to roll this back on the native apps even if you’re committed on crippling the web app?

WOW! I am speechless. I just noticed this yesterday and I could not believe it as I read this thread that its an intentional change! Please revert this Feature and let the User decide how he wants to use the view!!!

Pity, I quite liked having my music in Plex. This change has pushed me to delete my music libraries and revert to using a better player, with DNLA for distribution locally. Please stop changing the ‘user experience’ arbitrarily. My requirement is for customisation, not an enforced UI. This is wh…

Thanks for confirming this. Do you have an idea of why this was removed (It also affects viewing all Tracks in a music library, not just Folders)?

This is really my only major complaint with Plex, especially since i bought the life time pass. STOP CHANGING THE UI BECAUSE YOU FELL LIKE IT!!! Plex has notable issues at the core yet more work and time has been spent on a UI that causes more frustration that use. Especially with regards to the m…

I found this post after I sent my reply. It’s spot on… [image] Forced transition to new Plex version (formerly Preview) on Samsung Tizen TV Smart TVs These types of forced transitions that, as far as I can tell, are not strictly necessary, just so you can effectively forc…

It would seem Plex is now making more money from their “partnerships” with media distribution than us, so I suspect we can p!ss and moan all we want and it isn’t going to make a hill of beans. Plex has spoken: We no longer matter so long as someone else is lining their pockets. I’ve already begun …

Anything to offer us here @elan ? There are a lot of valid points here.

This new AWEFUL folder list view is complete garbage!!! Nobody in my family liked it. They all ran to me and asked why Plex was broken when they saw this yesterday. That 1990-style design looks worse than my old 2002 TV UI in the garage. I don’t care about your smart collections or any other view…

This intentional change is at least a blunder, it lengthens the navigation and is not user-friendly. I want to find my films the way I have classified them, and not have to think about whether a bench of experts has decided that a film is more about action or adventure or sci-fi. What is the point…
