> How about removing the unnecessary season tiles before the first episode in every season?

Thanks for the feedback throughout here. On the season level cards - there are some season-level functions and information that we have displayed on other clients that we never had available on TV clients. I tried to explain it in more depth [here](https://forums.plex.tv/t/new-episode-at-the-front-called-show-is-this-intended/921438/9), but I also know that this card is being looked at more internally and don’t know what changes might be coming here yet.

We pushed a [hotfix](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-for-roku/9463/468) yesterday to address this issue. Please check for an update on your device to resolve this issue.

> Put back the “Watched” notation for watched movies and shows

We pass along the “watched” vs “unwatched” notation every time it comes up. This one had nothing to do with this Roku update, but I do recognize it is still a concern for many people.

> Before when playing a music album it showed the album art cover at the top of the app in the upper right side while you browsed the rest of Plex. Now it is moved to the left side of the screen and the album art is gone, replaced with a musical note symbol. Seeing the small icon for the cover art of the album you are listening to was better

Thank you - I will pass this feedback along. First feedback I have seen on the “mini player” (not sure if that is the right thing to call it, hence the quotes here)

> Update the app so everyone gets the ‘Restart App’ option on the home screen when you highlight the Plex app. It doesn’t show on my Roku players even after entering Plex and going back to home!

I don’t think that we control this option - it might be a Roku-OS level function. If it is then it could very well be different across devices and/or Roku OS functions.

Thank you for the comments here. Appreciate you taking the time for this writeup.
