Several issues from 4.9.3 update

I always dread updating because every time I do something has changed or broken.  This time I've noticed the following issues from what little I've used of the new update so far (all in the web based view):

• First, loading Emby just seems to take forever sometimes or even not at all without having to refresh several times. Typically it just shows a black screen and the emby logo with zero user feedback on what is even happening. Maybe it's frozen, maybe it's loading something, maybe it's done and not doing anything for some reason. More feedback would be appreciated, and no a spinning wheel is not enough.
• Clicking on the Playlists item used to actually show my playlists, now it shows...nothing. I have to go to Music -> Playlists to bring it up. What's the point of the playlists button on the home screen then?
• Playing a music playlist was nice, now it's taken a few steps back.
  • It used to show the album cover super blurred out in the background (cool), now it just shows a boring color gradient to black (not cool) and unless there's a super vibrant dominant color it just ends up being gray or super muted and just looks bland. 
  • With the playlist open on the right side it used to show the eq animation over the album cover of the current song and so on down the page until it got to the last one visible on the page, then the next song would appear at the top of the page (cool), now it constantly jumps the new currently playing song to the top (not cool)
  • There can now be a major delay in updating the song information in the now playing info. It could be several seconds or more into a new song and still showing the previous song's information
  • Volume seems to have dropped. I have my system volume at 50% and when my playlist would play i'd have to drop the emby volume from 100% down to 40%. Since the update i still have my system volume at 50% but now i only seem to have to drop the emby volume down to 60%-70%.

These are some things i've experienced since updating today.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

The Playlist library used to display the playlists (screenshot 1), it used to have a Playlist item at the top where folders is, now there is nothing. And it's configured to the right directory (screenshot 2 and 3) but now they only show up in Music -> Playlists (screenshot 4)
