From the Changelog:

[Android TV] Lots of tweaks to the application look and feel.

Most significant change here (for me at least) was the ability to select audio codec and subtitles before beginning playback. Additionally, the current selected audio codec and subtitles are displayed on the info page for whatever item you have selected, prior to initiating playback.

Some other changes:

  • Library icons
  • Blurry background at home screen/library home screens
  • Color scheme changes

is there a way how to skip 10sec forward in plex ? this fast forward is so bad if you wanna just skip 10-20sec intro

Nice, they used to highlight the movie you're selecting by fading all the other movie posters, but they overdid it and it made browsing the library very difficult.

Now they just show all the posters normally. I'm glad they fixed this!

I like some of the new features but all I really want is the option to declutter the interface. It is sad that the web interface is better designed than the app's.

Any Shield server fixes? It won't transcode 1080p to TiVo mini for me.

"Blurry background at home screen/library home screens"

Finally. It was so busy before.

its a start to making it better but the current version seems to have some bugs for me at least a few crashes and I swear its transcoding files which was able to direct play before
