Are there plans to fix the player controls to put them back at the bottom of the screen, and bring back the normal controls? Like, skip, etc? How are we supposed to skip to the next episode? There doesn’t seem to be a button for it anymore.

And no episode/movie info?? That’s one of the best parts especially when watching an old show and you want to quickly know which episode you’re on.

I’d like to use the new app on my devices, but not until basic feature parity exists like this. Kinda bummed these things that made Plex the best player still have yet to make it to the new app. I can’t upgrade until it has these basic things put back. Please fix. Thanks.
