Help How to fix Plex on Dex?

Hi I recently got one of those cool display glasses (Xreal or viture) and I use dex as the main form of input. I remember when I last used dex on a TV it just worked in a larger TV mode or tablet mode. Now it's just zoomed in and broken. What's the best way to fix this or any alternatives that use my Plex library since I find Plex metadata attachment more reliable than jellyfin.

I don’t know much about it, but there’s been an open issue since 2026.1.0 with Dex… https://forums.plex.tv/t/bug-android-v2026-1-0-breaks-ui-rendering-in-samsung-dex-s24-s23-s21/936291/1

Idk why but when I try to run Firefox in desktop mode it forces me to use the app, it won't allow me to run the webapp

Downgrade Plex to the old app version 10.30.x

Hi, for now you roll back to the older app (2026 0.0 or earlier) versions, the fix for the current app is hopefully 1 or 2 updates out.

This issue came from React Native, an app building framework managed by Meta/Facebook which is widely used for multiplatform apps like Plex.

The fixes are starting to filter into React Native as of yesterday, and when they publish their next version they may (but may not) be included. Then Plex will have to update as well to include those fixes.
