User level: Level 1 (23 points)Recently when I start a video in Plex, or unpause, or skip forward or back, the Control Center on the Apple TV displays an overlay advising me "To open player, hold [TV Button]". Not sure what the "player" is or why you would need it (since you have the remote in your hand), or why you need to be reminded of it constantly.
How do I turn this distracting overlay off?

This seems like a notification specific to an update of the Plex app (possibly in combination with a specific tvOS version).
The developers of the Plex app may have to fix this nuisance. Consider giving them feedback.
You can turn on “Do not Disturb” in Control Center, but that would suppress all notifications, including from the system and other apps.
