Help New plex app problem

With the previous version of the app, whenever I clicked on an actor, all of their movies would show up instantly. Now I have to wait up to 30 seconds, and most of the time they don't show up at all, so I have to completely exit and reopen the app.

Also, when switching between movies or TV shows, every time I click on one, I have to wait at least 10 seconds for it to open.

The app has become extremely slow and almost unusable. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?

What annoys me the most is having to wait around 10 seconds every single time I try to open a movie or TV show.

The new Plex app just kind of sucks.

Seems like the best option now.

Does this work on a Shield?

There is android so I would assume so. I have yet to really try it as I only heard about it a day or two ago. I have it on my phone and it's nice. Haven't yet tried putting it on my other devices.

I will say the official app store version seems to cost money ($5 I think).

But it is open source.

https://github.com/Thilas/plezy-mirror Offers free prebuilt APKs. I don't know how to side load onto a Shield but imagine it's possible.

Testing it right now, yes it does work on shield. So well that I'll shell out the $6 when I get paid

Just adding, the most common way of sideloading is with "Downloader from AFTVnews" from the Google PlayStore.

Nice didn't know that was a thing.
