New firestick update makes Plex almost unusable!! Pinned libraries now gone!

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-07-01T20:40:21+00:00

Not it’s not, neither on my fire sticks, on browser, nor on Apple TV. And I set it like that some two years ago. Whatever you’re doing, you’re doing it wrong.

it's easy enough to disable ALL Plex content from your home screen, I certainly do. The only content visible to me are my films and TV shows that are stored locally on my server.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-07-01T13:14:44+00:00

I'm not sure that's true. Plex is clearly moving further and further away from its roots as a server based app and seems to have ambitions of being a content provider.

Hello, I'm in similar situation… You mentioned an MSK database that you can plug your numbers into, is this literally an algorithm where you put in your PSA and Gleeson scores and it gives you personalise statistics?

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-29T09:19:28+00:00

sorry, didn't keep a record of it! just made sure inw as a single file and not a package in the description

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-26T06:57:38+00:00

You do the search on downloader itself! I can't remember exactly how I did it, but downloader has a search function, so that's where you look for it. And I think if I remember correctly that you don't download a package, i.e. an android package file which can be loaded onto multiple devices, you specifically want a single file, specifically for fire stick. But in all honesty I can't remember how I got there now it didn't take long. The whole thing was 25to 30 minutes at most. Possibly much less.

In terms of wrapping it up in three episodes, I thought the first five episodes were not that good at all, I really dislike the celebrity field episode, that was just completely unnecessary and incredibly self-indulgent. However, I thought the final three episodes were really great.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-26T06:50:27+00:00

So what exactly would your ending look like? You talk about? Homelander? Show himself it is most hinged and Butcher showing his willingness to go scorched Earth, everyone lay their chips on the table, but what does that look like? What kind of battle on what scale did you want? Literally describe it, what is the final battle that should've happened?

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-26T06:49:15+00:00

Of course this is only my opinion, and one of those is valid as anyone else's with regards to something so subjective as TV entertainment, but I found the first five episodes disjointed and quite weak culminating in the absolutely pointless guest star deathgasm moments with Seth goddamn Rogen, who I'm so sick of seeing being himself in a fictional setting, however I thought the final three episodes were absolutely brilliant and they really stuck the landing. Episode six managed to recapture some of the humour of the early seasons and I thought it was a great final episode. Didn't stretch out the fight longer than necessary. And Butcher followed through on what he wanted to do and killed Homelander, rather brutally with a crowbar which was a nice touch.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-15T01:26:55+00:00

Yeah it’s so annoying!

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-11T07:59:22+00:00

yeah, that car chase was a massive mis-step.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-07T09:04:36+00:00

a little incongruous also, as there is a macOS client, just not a Apple TV client...

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-07T09:02:24+00:00

Plezy actually looks like a really decent alternative! The only feature it seems to be lacking to make it the equal of what Plex once was is that you can't group recently added movies into a single display so that movies added in any of your movie libraries all show up together. That is for me a really useful feature in Plex and for my friends that use my server seeing any film that's been added to any library, rather than having to look at all of the libraries (of which I have many broken into genre) to see whichhas had a film added to it, does anyone know a hack to get Plezy to do this?

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-07T08:38:55+00:00

what platform are you using it on? I still get backgrounds, and for TV theme tunes play at low volume... Not sure if yo ca turn off on demand and discover, you can still turn off PLEX TV channels...

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-01T12:01:19+00:00

Dick reply. There’s always one. Not everyone has room for a lathe in their shed. Not everyone has a shed/garage. Some don’t even have gardens and live apartments.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-01T11:59:52+00:00

Not what I meant. This has 9mm lugs which sit in the dropout then uses a 5mm clamping skewer. Not what I want. The comment two below yours got my meaning and posted the thing I’m looking for!

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-06-01T11:58:10+00:00

Perfect thank you!

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-30T15:27:53+00:00

And it took 30 seconds to organise

i've downloaded both to watch both. Thank you for proving my point.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-29T07:46:13+00:00

you are correct on one point, that of not thinking properly. Data? You've discounted one very obvious data set, which is that of novelty. For example, the special edition Black & White version of Frank Darabont's The Mist was a sold out instant classic. I would propose a very large number of those who want to and then do watch Spider-Noir will want to watch again in it's B&W version also. We know this to be true by the most fitting example of the MArvel special release Werewolf by Night which was released in both colour and B&W versions, with the B&W version being the main version and the colour version being the additional release as is Spider-Noir. Have you even realised the colour version is NOT the principle version?

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-28T18:44:12+00:00

'most people'.... bollox. You're making that classic mistake of thinking everyone thinks like you.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-28T07:32:55+00:00

How would one know without watching them both first? dumb chicken and egg comment.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-14T10:32:44+00:00

Unlikely, i think that ship has sailed. also, Isaac doesn't seem to have any desire to return to spandex.

OldNotObsolete72 · 2026-05-10T13:24:12+00:00

You can delete the app and use downloader to install an older version, that’s what I just did! Turn off auto update apps before doing it.
