Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930
Player Version#: 4.63.0
I noticed today that in my main movie library when I have both a 1080p and 2160p version of a film it used to put a “2” in the top corner to visually let me know. That is no longer displayed but when I filter by duplicates they the correct films show up but again no number to indicate this.
Is this a bug or feature? Something I can re-enable?
Thanks!

There’s been a change to that behavior some months ago. Items now have an additional line next to audio/subtitle tracks that shows if that item is available in different quality versions.
Some months? I update basically immediately and have only seen this change with the most recent version that I just updated to in the last few days (I’ve installed several updates in the last couple months). Is there a change log I can reference for that?
Regardless is there no way to go back to the old behavior? I have over 4000 1080p films with another about 800 4k and 500 3D all in one library so being able to see the number on them to ensure that they are merged properly is pretty important - having to look at each one individually is rather far from ideal. I’d rather not have to go back to splitting the 4K and 3D movies into separate libraries as it’s not nearly as clean.
Is it possible to downgrade Plex to an earlier version? I do backup my server on a daily basis so I suppose I could roll the whole thing back, sadly I made a huge amount of changes today (creating about 50 or so Collections covering several hundred films) so it would suck to lose all that.
Thoughts?
Here you go:
From Plex Web - #348 by chrishoage
4.53.0NEW:
- Added list of duplicates and versions to media details page and remove duplicate badge from poster
You cannot downgrade Plex Web unless you downgrade the PMS itself (which will cut you off quite a number of features and future feature upgrades/fixes).
You’ll need to find a PMS version before 1.22.1.4271
Thanks for the link to the patch notes - I find it impossible to believe that change was implemented that far back - in fact looking at my “Updates” directory I’ve installed 10 updates since that one in March - I’ve installed all the following and only with the last updated did the interface change for me.
1.22.1.4275
1.22.2.4282
1.22.3.4392
1.23.1.4571
1.23.1.4602
1.23.2.4656
1.23.3.4707
1.23.4.4805
1.23.6.4881
And now I’m running 1.24.0.4930 and only then did I see the change. I guess I’ll start doing some reading on how to roll back as with a collection as large as mine is with as many mixed version of films I absolutely hate this - and if I have to give up future features, which honestly usually either remove a function I was using or make a change like this that makes it worse, I’ll just stick with that old version as long as I can.
Along those lines - any idea if it’s as simple as just installing the old version or will I need to restore the backup of my database before the upgrade? I imagine that’s likely dependent on what changed and if the DB schema changed. Regardless thanks for at least pointing me in the right direction and confirming that I didn’t change anything here.
I guess next I’ll see where you can post feature requests to see if there’s any chance they would roll this change back and/or at least give us an option for it.
Thanks!

Opened a feature request - I’m guessing it’s in vein, I guess it’s time to start looking at Emby.
Thanks again,

The funny/sad thing is there are other feature requests for this. And BigWheel said it’s coming back, but no ETA… Not holding my breath though.
Yeah, sadly my guess is this will take ages to come back as well - how many years have we been waiting for things like shared playlists, etc?
I am glad they’ve at least acknowledged that we want it back and that it shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. Still baffled as to why I’ve installed 10 updates since this was in the patch notes but only now did it take effect on my setup.
