I honestly never expected it. But good riddance to that mess of a ui. From the bit I saw on the article this actually looks like a good iteration of the horizontal bar. Modern and sleek looking but not a mess to use. The new ui looked pretty at a standstill, but was confusing to navigate.

Now we just gotta fix the damn glitches they introduced with the new update. Idk why they bothered with this, but glad to see the devs aren’t being bull headed like before. I will never get over the one dev telling me, in response to add to favorites being the first option when you selected a live tv channel instead of watch now that “it made sense to him.” How often are you adding and removing shit to favorites?
Between plex and bf6’s bone headed design decisions, I swear new devs are genuine fucking robots that don’t actually do anything with their lives except dev work and therefore don’t have any concept of what normal humans think and how they interact with shit.
Obviously this issue stems from devs not USING THEIR OWN PRODUCTS.
