Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.

What about it? Genuinely... I've been using Rokus longer than Plex, what's the issue with the Roku version?

There's a new Plex UI that they pushed to Android a few months ago that breaks everything, removes options and customizability, requires extra unintuitive actions to get to any self-hosted libraries, and pushes Plex's Live TV and other junk into prominent UI positions, as I assume the investors and MBAs demanded.

It was released and universally criticized. So Plex's team thought long and hard about that user feedback - ok, ok, sorry, I couldn't make it without laughing. They changed nothing and pushed forward and now it hit Roku, with no way to decline or roll back.

Curious is this is something that is forced on non members. Plex will die the moment they abuse their members.

I honestly haven't opened the android app for awhile. But I just did and the content from my server was right there on load. Near the bottom was trailers and things from Apple TV. I had to scroll pretty far down to see this and if anything it gave me an overview of what was coming up so I could add them to radarr.

I see no Plex content, I have it disabled on my account. So if it was there I'd be pretty annoyed, but it wasn't. So whatever.
