What's New in Plex

2026.17.0

August 31, 2026

NEW: - Add Top Played tab in the Server Dashboard. - Comments have an updated design. - Player: Force Direct Play settings option. - Privacy indicators to lists on the profile and My Lists screens. - Signing in from a community post returns you to the post you tapped. FIXES: - A library containing an item with a name that had invalid text encoding could fail to load. - Could not continue past favorite library selection without selecting at least one favorite. - Fixed a crash that could occur after the app was sent to the background while searching for cast devices. - Fixed missing streaming service logos on the availability button on details screens. - Icons the app didn't recognize showed a box of placeholder text instead of an icon. - Music on Session Details screen was displaying the wrong artwork. - Player: Airplay button could not show on some media. - Player: Playback from a shared server would fail to start with an authorization error. - Reopening season or episode selector for a new Discussion had no way to go back to the show. - Stop Playback would appear in cases where it can not be remotely stopped. - The app background could flash bright pink for a few seconds before the artwork colors appeared. - The app could get stuck on a loading spinner after signing in, instead of opening the home screen. - The loading spinner spun uncomfortably fast and popped in abruptly; it now fades in smoothly, rotates at a calmer pace, and gently pulses instead of spinning when Reduce Motion is enabled. - The user filter on the server dashboard was labeled "Filter by Library".

Plex is trash, used to be the best

iOS crashes constantly, whatever they have done lately is garbage. I play a movie for 3 minutes and it bugs out. I’ve played movies and tv shows for over a decade without issue and now it’s absolutely useless. Moving off plex completely soon.

App keeps stops working

The app randomly on my iPhone and my ps4 stops working and glitches so much yall really to fix that bug I love the app but it should work consistently when on live tv mode

Tanking their own product

Updates a few months ago rendered the TV App useless. Glitches, extreme lags, and crashes are constant. Force restart is necessary at least once every time I use Plex now. Totally ruined the experience. Fix your sht.

Stuck on loading advertisement

Very annoying app, got stuck on loading advert. Closed the connection and reopened and it did exactly the same again. Deleting because nobody has time for this.

Freezes all the time

It disconnects from my server constantly and freezes while I’m sitting next to server.
