The huge Thumb nails on the home page are ridiculous. Makes it harder to find content I want to watch. If you zoom out it will only show 4 horizontal thumbnails, Max.
Agreed. It feels like a UI designed for little children or senior citizens.

What a great day to be a grayjay user lol
I prefer the old one, but it's really not much of a difference. New one looks a bit cheaper, like something you'd see on piracy sites or something.
Also just realised Jellyfin basically has the old YouTube design. Don't know if YT was first with it, but if so it was pretty influential, think it's quite common in many players.
Oh man, I remember when this was the new one
the new design looks like it came from ten years ago
It looks exactly the same just a little different skin
Looks like they just adopted material you design. It's a 'whatever' change for me.
