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…

[image] knalltuete: just to be clear: folder navigation is the only way to navigate a big structure. :arrow_up: This. In the past, there have been a bunch of changes the Plex team has made which caused some backlash. And they’ve pushed back on us as a trivial “people fear change” sort of dea…

What kind of crap is this? I use grid view exclusively. I dont use plex outside of my house. This is not how you do customer service. Luckily i was able to roll back, but i fear the roku app will stop working with the version that has the grid view. I have 15TB of movies. it takes forever to s…

Why hasn’t this been fixed yet ?

I rolled back to Version 1.22.2.4282 which is the last version I have that still has the folder view working. I refuse to update past this version unless Plex Support starts listening to all of the ongoing complaints from its pay customers like me. What a dumbass move this was on Plex’s part! Now…

Not really expecting Plex to do anything about this. They already have our money and they have no incentive to listen any of their users since it’s not like we’re going to get a refund from lifetime plex pass if you end using their products. Sad but inevitable end result it seems.

I’ve rolled back to v1.22.3.4523 (which was the last “good” version before this ridiculous change occurred), and that’s exactly where I’ll be staying until I read in these forums that this issue has been addressed.

Removing these options is a very poorly weighted choice. When I purchased a lifetime sub to Plex, the last thing I expected was to have options removed. The folder view options need to be restored.

“people fear change” is the poorest excuse for not listening to the customers I’ve ever heard. If change is to be feared then change is bad. If change is not noticed or praised, then change is good. In fact… the whole dressing up of media files with cover art, trailers and stuff is… well. not requ…

Bad decision here Plex. Just got an update the other day that broke my grid view and now is really, annoying scrolling through this long column of folders on my tablet or phone. Please put the grid view back please.
