Hi everyone!  
Yesterday my Plex app on my Samsung Smart tv disappeared, and when I reinstalled it was a much older version “5.22.1”. Is this normal? Is there any way to update?

Oh. Is it normal that everything looks bigger and has the UI of older versions? It has changed from yesterday to today

Without knowing what version you were on before that is a little hard to answer.  
But as you can see in the post I linked, the latest version for Samsung UHD Smart tv’s with Tizen version 2.4 to 6.0 is 5.22.1.

If you look at the notest for 5.20.1 you see that there was some UI changes - maybe you were on a version older than 5.20.1?

Could be? It’s weird, earlier for example it showed directly if it had subtitles, now I had to click on the three dots and then onto Subtitles. It’s 2 extra steps than earlier, everything looks bigger and chunkier.

Fantastic, that’s my same version. In the early one, where the three dots are, it shows subtitles and could change them directly from there in one click. No idea why thhey downgraded the whole thing like that.  
Thank you so much for the pictures, now I see I’m not downgraded, just the app has changed for a worst design.
