How can I roll back to last version of PMP?
I foolishly updated this today, and it is bug city for me. The "Play" button on the thumbnails doesn't even work for me.
Is there a way to download the version before this newest one?

Will PMP TV mode ever use the new desktop player?
Hi Everyone,
I recently tried the new version of the Plex web client (3.20.5) which includes a new video player. I found this to be a HUGE step backwards for me because now most of my video content requires transcoding by the server, which absolutely kills performance and the user experience for me. (I assume that this is because an HTML5 player is used, which has very limited support for video formats.)
Now I see that the latest release of the PMP beta (2.1.1) also includes the new (desktop) web client. I assume this is what is used when in PMP's "desktop" mode. My question is, will this new player also be used in the "TV" mode, either now or in the future? I'm pleading that this is not the case, as PMP and Plex would then be nearly useless for me.

Subtitles randomly stop
(Chrome, Windows 10, web player)
Since the latest update, subtitles randomly stop after a few minutes. They can only be restarted by closing the video and then continuing. They will suddenly start again. Is this happening to anyone else?

No sound on Roku Premiere+ unless Roku restarted
Recently, after I turn on my entertainment system, launch Plex and start playing a video, the video will play, but there is no sound. I must restart my Roku and the sound then returns with no problems. There is sound effects like scrolling sounds and the background show music bed, but when a show is played there is no audio unless the Roku is rebooted.
I don't have issues with any other app. Just Plex. There are no updates available for my Roku. It is up to date.
I'm running Plex Media Server on a Windows 10 box. Version 1.8.0.4109.

Feature Request: Disable "News" from the dashboard
I do not want to see "News" on my Dashboard, I would like to be able to remove it.
With "News", Plex have introduced another feature that I have not seen one request for in the forums, and yet they ignore feature requests from paying customers that have hundreds of votes. This is not a sign of a software provider listening to their customers.
Therefore, as a parting gift from me to Plex (I am now ending my subscription and moving to Emby) I have raised this feature request to remove "News" from our dashboards. For the few that want it, if any, it should at the the least be possible to disable it and not have it show up in our media collections or dashboards.

Shield TV Player XML Profile
I was very annoyed to find after like a year of using Plex + Nvidia SHield TV that a lot of my higher quality movies were being transcoded on the fly. I found through debugging logs this is because the SHield is being matched against the generic Android.xml. I adapted it and using options from other places to add in direct play support for pretty much everything. let me know your thoughts. File goes into /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server on my Fedora 25 server. Name it Shield.xml. I'm not 100% certain all of these formats are supported but so far it works pretty well and I've noticed a HUGE difference in the quality of the picture. Especially with items like HEVC 10bit color.

How force 'Direct Play' on homevideo content?
OK, so since the Direct Play setting has been removed (somehow) from the Settings section in Plex on the Shield, I can no longer play my homevideo content in 4k (made in iMovie).
Plex now tries to transcode the content, but the transcoder seems to crash or samething cause after pressing play the spinner will load forever and eventually say the content can't be played. Also trying to let Plex 'Create optimized version' won't work: the conversion will get stuck at 1%.
I used to work around this by enabling the Direct Play option in Settings, but that is GONE (sigh...).
I have read somewhere that creating a custom profile xml file for the Shield would help, and enabling/forcing the directplay option in there, but if I am correct running PMS on a Shield won't let us anywhere near those files when the Shield is not rooted.
In short... I am stuck with many, many homevideos in 4k, which ONLY playback fine in a webbrowser with Plex, but they won't play on iOS, chromecast or the Shield player itself. Any fix?

UI scaling issue at 2160p
At 2160p for some reason I can only see the upper left part of the screen, as if it is scaling the UI to a much higher resolution and it is being cut off. Picture shows what it looks like: Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
It will play a video normally at the correct scale, but the UI is still scaled wrong on the overlay.
I have tried reinstalling it, completely uninstalling it and deleting all folders and restarting and reinstalling, and it still does it. I thought maybe it was the Windows 10 screen scaling so I tried setting it back to 100%, still does it(even after restarting). Tried changing all the settings in the app that is for video and nothing fixes it.
I should mention that it was fine until I updated to the new version with the new UI and it displays just fine at any other resolution.

I've been playing a bunch of 4k files, and well, its 1080p. I'm currently remuxing to mp4 from mkv to try direct play, but even then on the android TV app itself, it plays at 4K, and if it has to transcode it transcodes at 4K..

Do you like the new UI in PMP 2.1?
For me, it's completely un-usable. I've uninstalled it and moved back to 1.3.5. What do you think?
[Warning, rant ahead]
For me, 2.1 is messy. You now go Up to select the media type (movies or shows) then you have to narrow the categories from there until you choose a library. This completely defeats the purpose of creating freakin libraries in the first place. On top of this, it now shows the media of shared Plex accounts, which only adds to the clusterf*ck that is this new UI.

Cloud Sync Probleme
Hallo,
ich hatte vor kurzen das Problem, dass meine Festplatte, wo PMS installiert war abgestürzt ist und ich leider vergessen hatte die Datenbank und die Registry zu sichern.
Also hatte ich von vorn angefangen die Filme zu sünden.
Mein Problem ist nun, dass mein aktueller Sync-Ordner vorhanden ist sowie der alte Filmeordner und ich keinen Plan habe wie ich den entferne.
Über mein NAS habe ich ein ähnliches Problem. Dort habe ich über meinen Webbrowser einen Ordner umbenannt, also in meinem Falle hieß der vorher "1935-1990" und habe daraus "1935-2000" gemacht. In der Cloud Sync heißt er aber immer noch "1935-1990" und das ist jetzt auch schon mehrere Wochen her.
Habt Ihr eine Idee wie ich diese Probleme in den Griff bekomme?
Liebe Grüße

Movie Lagging
Movie attempts to play but never plays in Direct Streaming playback mode. When I switched to Transcoding playback mode, it played after about a minute and continued to lag till I got fed up and shut it down. Is there a solution to this? the Plex Server is installed on my NAS disk and the movie is stored there as well.
