I can’t find “Continue Watching” on the new Plex screen. I used that feature all the time on Plex. I can’t believe they would just delete it.

Does anybody know how to continue watching shows you already started on Plex?

My Roku stick updated earlier today.

Continue Watching is at the top of the Home page. The same as on my Android mobile phone.

The way I got it to work was go into Settings > Account, and scrolled down to “Sync my watch state and ratings”, and activated that feature. Previously, it had been inactive. Before they launched the new Plex, “Continue Watching” was on the Home Screen, but apparently it needs that setting activated in the Account to get “Continue Watching” on the Home Screen in the new Plex system. I don’t know why.

Mine is missing as well from the Home screen. I see in this order Available On Your Services, Trending Trailers, Popular with Your Friends. It is all irrelevant content I do not need to see. This update should not of released yet, all of my Plex users having same issue, Roku TV and Roku Stick. Server is updated.

UPDATE: Okay, if you go to Libraries, then go click down one time into the black bar where it shows your libraries, click on the THREE DOTS. Then favorite all the libraries you expect to see on the Home screen. I do think I recall this being a thing when I setup my original server years back, why it remains a thing, I do not know.

Plex could really save themselves a ton of support headaches if they would send out emails/documentation BEFORE rolling out a new UI to every Roku user explaining where stuff has been moved to, what they might run into, etc.

But obviously they have zero clue on how to manage software rollouts…

The support articles don’t even cover the new changes, they’re still the old version.

If I do that, only two libraries stay checked and then one randomly disappears.

I had to favorite all my libraries for continue washing to return to Home Screen. But i can’t pause or fast forward at all. Up and down left and right buttons don’t work either.

i have to exit the video and then continue playing to pause but no work around for reverse or forward

Have you tried what worked for me:
