Note for updates
You will need to ensure you do not click the Update All button in the Play Store when updating applications until the new Plex app has been ironed out. If you do, it will force an update to the latest Plex application version and you’ll have to do this process all over again. Make sure to manually click the update button on each application and skip over Plex.
