Unreadable folder name

Hello!

I would like to ask help about modify sub-folder names, because the text shown over the icon - not like in the main folder when the text shown under the icon - and its cause to become un-readabla whats make it annyoing when using it on TV. The main folders are okey but the sub-folders alwys show up like in the picture.

Other thing…
How can i hide the date under the name of moovie? Its really annoying for me, but couldnt find the way how to hide the copy dates…

Thx!

Are those screenshots from the Plex for Android (TV) app?
As for customizing the label below the poster… Plex does not support that.

Same problem. I have seven Amazon fire sticks in my house and they are all having the same issue.

I am having the same issue. The folder names within the sub menus are impossible to read in this layout. It makes plex completely unusable for me on my TV. Something as simple as text or folder colour change should fix this. It is extremely frustrating.

Yes, same here. Plex on fire stick. Why was this changed? It was perfect!

I am having the same issue and this started after the last server update I installed last week.
Currently at Version 1.21.1.3830.
Prior to that, the display for folders was perfect!! Please change it back.

Same issue here! I thought this was a bug! Please fix or allow for color options! This makes folder names unreadable! I have never had this problem before but it is a huge pain!

Same here, all the subfolder views with white text is impossible to read beyond 2 feet from the tv. Please change either the view or the color of the text. Pretty please!

I have same problem with display on Firestick TV. Very bad layout. Cannot read folder names at all if name is short like “Disc 1”. Displays different with your Roku app. It is much better!

Sorry did not see this topic, I replied to a different one. There is a bug report for this but I do not have an ETA. Android team unfortunately has a large backlog of bugs they are trying to fix.

BigWheel, so glad you guys are acknowledging this!
For those of us who manage their large collections with the folder view, this is a horrible problem.

Same issue with my Nvidia Shield. Been like this for months. Hope it’s fixed asap as it looks terrible as the screen shots show above.

Following up. Same issue. Thanks for creating this thread. Keep the thread alive

I am experiencing the same issue with my Chromecast w/ Google TV. It appears that the parent folders are fine, but as soon as you start traversing through the child folders, you get the white text on a white folder format. It would have been fine if the deeper folders just followed the same formatting where the text is underneath the folder icon. Plex, please fix this!

Same exact issues and only on Fire Stick, Android TVs or Nvidia Shield. It’s totally fine on my iPhone or iPad.

There has to be a fix for this. Anyone???

2 posts were split to a new topic: Why are users considering to use folder view?

I’m sorry there is not yet

Now, did you have a ETA ? It’s very annoying.

It’s probably only a bad “Style” applied on second folder.

Thanks
