I've been pretty happy with Plex overall over the years (lifetime subscription). I'm very disappointed in the new update/layout of Plex done in 2025. I really dislike that I now have to have an additional two separate apps for photos and music now, so three Plex apps total. No way to add movies to a playlist. Definitely a big step backwards in my opinion.

New update is... different. Which i can excuse. But chromecast streaming is broken. Doesn't work 95% of the time. (Works fine for other apps and occasionally works for Plex so it isn't a network issue. But I want to watch something... not spend hours restarting devices hoping it randonly works again.) Downgraded to 10.26.0.2578 and problems went away.

I used to be be able to play my local home videos. Then, suddently, nothing will play anymore on my tablet. I did configure my home server to disable transcoding, because there is no reason to transcode video on a LAN anymore. But it just says "Unable to play media", while the Web player started to complain that the server is unable to do transcoding.
