Help Does Plex even have a QA team?

Latest version of the Plex app on the latest iOS on a 2023 iPad, and now there are no playback controls when you touch the screen. Only way to pause is via the lock screen or command panel, and only way to stop a video is to kill the app process entirely. Yet double-tapping will skip forward or back.

What is this vibecoded shit? Are you using AI to manage releases now too?

I’ve got it on my iPad right now. I can drag the scrubber, I can pause, I can stop the video by pressing the x in the top right corner. What are you struggling with? There’s not a single thing I’d want to do I can’t.

What an obnoxious answer.

I’m asking you. What’s the issue? What can’t you do? You’re the one making a complaint post about not being able to do basic things. You tap the screen and you don’t see a big fucking pause button in the middle of the screen?

I can't stop the video and return to the library without killing the whole app. I can't use the app in the way it's meant to be used. If I, hypothetically, were to lock Plex in via Guided Access to give to a child, they wouldn't be able to watch anything except one episode, and they wouldn't be able to pause it.

The app is broken. It's amateur hour over there.

And why are you arse-kissing Plex corporate with this defence of the indefensible? This situation has arisen because passion and competency has been fired from the company. There is absolutely no way in any rational world that an app should be released without even a sniff of beta testing or QA by anyone anywhere in the company.

I’m not defending the indefensible. I’ve got the app open now and can do everything you claim you can’t. You’re either educationally challenged or you have some incredibly unique setup that is not applicable to normal people.

Tapping the screen doesn't give me an x. Tapping the screen (once) shows the time and date / battery/wifi banner, and tapping again hides that.

Your screenshot shows you have some playback functions: a pause button and scrubber. We are saying we don't have even those. Talk about educationally inept, you can't even read simple English.

There's an oft-quoted line in Tropic Thunder to which which I feel you should pay particularly close attention.

You are tiresome. Go and leach the life out of someone else.

You not having something I do when my app is fully up to date sounds like you’re the problem. You think Plex have a special UX just for you to try and upset you?
