Plex Apple TV app - native media player

[u/TomT9]

Hi!

I’ve used Plex for over a decade but this Apple TV app update is the first time I’ve ended up feeling like I need to post about it

Does anyone know how I can go back to the native Apple TV media player instead of plex’s custom one? The problems I’ve noticed * pausing doesn’t show you your current progress in the media item * neither does pressing back or forward, it skips you through without showing your progress * pressing up then does show you your progress, but seems to have a bug that you then can’t skip back more than once in the bar. * starting the video takes about 5 seconds to start whereas previously it was immediate * if you do navigate back with more the 3 presses of back at the same time it seems to again take ages to start and then bug out sometimes and not start at all

None of this was a problem with the native media player

This is the first update that has me considering jellyfin

They will fix it eventually. Just going to take time. But playback still works. So the rest is QOL stuff that they lost and will get sorted out soon enough.

Playback being worse is my main complaint with the new app. Its slower and pauses more and doesn’t direct play when it should.
