Question about the new Xbox One app

Hi, I’ve been trying out the new Xbox app and it’s pretty great for the most part. The only problem I’ve found so far is when a video is paused the time bar UI doesn’t auto hide after a few seconds. It’s also impossible to manually hide it by pressing the “B” button on the controller. (both of these options were available in the “old” app)

Is this a bug? If not, It seems like a pretty significant oversight concerning content with subtitles. Currently the paused UI is fairly intrusive, especially the icons (play, fast-forward, rewind etc.), which can almost totally obscure any subtitles behind them.

Is there anyway to enable either the auto or manual hide functionality? Hopefully there is just a setting somewhere that I’ve missed and someone can point me in the right direction.

If anyone from Plex responds - Thanks for updating the Xbox app, and for taking the time to answer a potentially nooby question!

Hi there. The OSD not disappearing when paused is currently by design and you cannot change the behaviour, but we’re going to be changing that in an update in the near future. Hope that answers your question!
