After using Plex, via Roku, on my TV, when re-selecting Plex a second time, none of the selections on the left side of the screen are highlighted. If I press “right”, the cursor becomes visible on the movies available. If I press ‘left’ from there, nothing is highlighted. (Like Home, Movies & Shows, Live TV, etc.)
I currently have to reboot Roku, and select Plex again, which forces Plex to restart, and the left side choices are highlighted & useable once again. Can this be fixed?
I’m seeing the same behavior on Plex Server Version 4.57.4 and Roku Player version 6.7.28.7055-f180d1b27-Plex (Roku Premiere+).
Another (somewhat painful) workaround is to use search to find the item, but a fix would be much appreciated.
Go down to ‘More’.
Select your server - if there is more than one.
Pin the libraries/items you want to see in the sidebar.
Go back to Home (Pinned - above)
Then from the leftmost dots on each entry you can ‘Reorder’ the sidebar items - that’s important for the Hub orders on the Home Page.
There’s also ‘The Hail Mary’:
from the sidebar, go up to your Username, then from there ‘Reset Home Customization’.
That will result in Plex’s Default selections, which will either horrify you, or be just what you want. You can fiddle from there if necessary.
It’s complicated.
Like Good Meatloaf.
It doesn’t ‘just happen’…lol
JuiceWSA- Thanks. I do not know why this worked, as I did unpin “Movies & Shows” and “Live TV”. When I exited Plex and went back in , the two remaining functions, “Home” and “More…” became available again. (From there, I can select my server or Plex, and access both Movies & Shows, and Live TV from there.)
If you want to get rid of Plex Stuff (Ad Supported) do that at:
Server/Settings/Online Media Sources
Disable everything you don’t want - and it won’t keep showing up.
There was a Roku OS update (I got it last night).
Perhaps that did something unexpected.
IF anything weird happens - check for an update and restart the Roku… often.
Getting this many OS updates so close together indicates they’re working on something. Let’s hope they fix whatever that is.
Juice WSA, as it turns out , this did not work. The very next day, the left side of the options are not usable again. I still have to reboot Roku, which forces Plex to Restart.
Has anyone else had this issue?
Is there a moderator that checks these issues?
I am also experiencing this same issue. Insanely annoying.
Seeing that you’ve made a new thread, Can Plex be restarted when using it via Roku?, I’m closing this one.
