This change, the removal of Grid View, is crap. I’ll continue to check whether each future update brings back the functionality I want, and if I find that it doesn’t, I’ll uninstall the new update and reinstall 1.22.3.4523.
So far I’ve done this four times.
v1.23.1.4571 & v1.23.2.4625 & v1.23.2.4656 & v1.23.2.4707 are all broken, as far as I’m concerned.
Now I am getting pissed. Fix this ■■■■ or lose me. There are other alternatives out there. How could you f-up something that didn’t need fixing? WTF?
usually don’t just “pile on” but I have to agree that this change for the folders view is crap. I use the folders view to organize when I’m on my server and the list just makes it so much harder to work with. Once the change to the folder is selected, even every item in the folder is listed in the same format and once I’m in a folder, it should revert to grid view. Sifting thru 250+ folders and then getting to the one with all the files, I should at least be able to revert that to a grid. Like many others, if this continues, I have alternatives that can fulfill my needs. Please fix this.
I’ve had to host a library-less PMS installation of an older version on my desktop just for browsing to be able to keep using grid view (1.22.3.4523 is the last “good” version). The fact that it still works fine there with any of my updated servers makes the change even more ridiculous because they’re just removing the option to show the exact same database information in a different manner. Nothing about the underlying database structure has changed that would necessitate this sort of restrictive and forced user interface change (the new “Randomly” sort option is even available when browsing updated servers with the older version). If I wasn’t able to host an older version to still use it on my computer I would probably have already cancelled my Plex Pass a while ago because being forced to use table view makes the program essentially useless for me.
sorry plex team but are you guys ■■■■■■■ seriously? first with the movies then a butload of complaints!!! and today i restart my system, same freaking thing with my music library now. SERIOUSLY WTF, if i want this kind of crap i will pay for spotify or netflix or some other lame ass streaming platform. if you want to add certain options that is oke. but if you do something because your boss thinks he had a good idea, and the next three months you get a butload of complaints about it? you dont just do the same thing to a different part of the system? oh i guess u really do that. sorry but i cant do ■■■■ with this interface and i am not going to pay for it anymore. 1 august my folder view is back again in grid view or i ain’t paying one euro more until this is fixed!
100%!!!
Can someone from Plex please for crying out loud explain the rationale for removing Grid view?
Add my voice to the thousands (?) of confused and outraged users! Not that I know anything about it, but I believed that good coding involved expanding options for users, not limiting them.
Grid view, please!
I also add my voice, I don’t understand the point of removing a display mode (whether it is heavily used or not), it just creates frustration for other users using that display mode. Can you reverse this? I don’t want to regret my lifetime pass
This problem CANNOT be a decision Plex made. It HAS to be unintentional–or a BUG. Please fix it. PLEASE.
PLEASE BRING BACK GRID VIEW, or at least make it as an option when you do such changes!
Ridiculous idea to remove the option to display in different styles. Please add a switch view button to allow users to arrange our own media.
Agree to all comments. List view sucks, Grid view much better! Why change it!!!
So…another reason to switch to Kodi!! Plex thinks they know how I want my media arranged? The more I use Plex, the more I have come to realize Plex doesn’t care what “paid” users want. Was Plex purchased by Apple, Google, or Microsoft? Or is plex reading their business plan?
I really like the Sonos and Roku integrations. Does Kodi have that as well?
Another update, and it’s still broken. Plex is still stubbornly insisting that it knows what’s best for me. I’m more stubborn, however. Back to 1.22.3.4523 I go, again.
Sooo, I cancelled my Plex Pass. But after a few days a took a subscribtion again. And after that i removed Plex from my PC and downgraded to 1.22.3.4523. Finally gridview again via folders! soo by now I understand plex wants me to never upgrade again?
@plex why is it updated automatically again? and more important, why do YOU ignore users who pay for your software??? not just once but in 90% of the cases monthly!!! please take some responsibility and reply at least to whyyy you guys did this/had to do this. this is not a game and you are ignoring everyone on purpose:
1.What happened to GridView? - #34 by joekidd
2.Grid View Missing - #5 by shah8826_yahoo.com
3.VIew Change after update?
4.Please bring back table view
5.Plex web and Windows 10 app lose view controls in Folders view
Goodluck!!! 
New update. Still broken. Rolling back…
Why hasn’t this been fixed ?
