Podcasts category missing/broken in latest Plex Android Beta v8.0.0.17191

I noticed last week that the ‘Recommended’ tab of Podcasts in Android Beta Mobile app was saying no-connection retry, even when my phone and rest of Plex app was working fine. As I could still toggle across to Library view of Podcasts and play things from there + Podcasts On Deck was still present and worked from lower down overall ‘Home’ screen categories I initially ignored this as hopefully temporary issue.

However today I decided to try and check if it was a problem with my app install, so I uninstalled and re-installed Plex Android Beta app from the Play Store and received version v8.0.0.17191.

However on re-signing into the app and looking to add ‘Podcasts’ back to my pinned items from ‘More’ list I found that Podcasts was missing from expected bottom direct from ‘Plex’ section, which only contained 3, not expected 4, items.

Given https://status.plex.tv/ says that everything is okay + I can see ‘Podcasts’ via logged in Desktop web browser view I think this is a bug with most recent Android app?

I’d appreciate if you could look and confirm this as soon as possible, and suggest any workaround? As currently I’ve now lost access to my podcasts on my mobile :disappointed:

Today (Tues 28th April) I re-checked ‘More’ > ‘Plex’ section today within further updated Plex Beta app of v8.0.0.17234 and now ‘Podcasts’ section is back including all 3 sections of ‘Recommended’, ‘Podcasts’ and ‘Categories’

So I guess this was a known issue that got fixed in latest Beta? But would be nice to have official confirmation. I will watch and re-check for any reoccurrence of this issue in future versions.
