Like 100% of other Plex users, I'm absolutely furious that another horrible Plex update has been FORCED upon me. The 8.6 (Build 4) upgrade pretty much ruined everything I enjoyed about Plex on Roku. None of my theme music, whether for TV shows or Movies, will play now on the Roku app (though it still does on the desktop/Web version of Plex, but what good is that, since I want to use my TELEVISION to watch my media?!), and I spent ages customizing theme songs for my entire media library.
The new user interface is also absolute garbage, as they eliminated the convenient and simple-to-use vertical list of pinned library "channels"/categories on the left side of the screen in favor of a stupid horizontal list/bar that takes a few extra clicks even to access.
What's more, they even eliminated the wallpaper/background art and matching color schemes that I had set up for all of my movies!
I also don't ever want to see "Live TV" or "On Demand" or "Discover" or anything else that I will never use and have NO interest in, Plex. Give us back the option to hide this useless clutter from our menus/home screens, etc.
These awful updates should be OPTIONAL rather than being imposed upon everyone against their will, Plex. Give users the option of using the classic Plex GUI that so many of us are so accustomed to using and enjoying. As it is, you have rudely disrupted our lives for no justifiable reason whatsoever. Nobody asked for any of this. To quote another commenter, you guys apparently operate by the philosophy, "If it ain't broke, let's break it!"
With that said, does anyone know if there is any way to install an older version of the Roku Plex app, such as the great Plex Classic, which was discontinued (apparently) a few years ago? Or is there any alternative home media streaming app for Roku that works like the OLD Plex (when it was great), and that will play custom theme music (i.e., simply by dropping an mp3 in the root directory of a TV show or Movie)?
Thanks in advance.
