2 Samsung phones, different app versions

Plex Players Mobile Devices

Hi all

Hubby and I both have the plex app on our Samsung Galaxy phones for casting to tv.

I appear to have a newer version of the app than he, I’m 8.8.x he is 8.7.x. with my app store showing an update 20 Oct, his 6 Oct.

I’m not sure if that is causing his headaches, but he is often finding that his app isn’t connecting to our server, it will say server offline, or re try connection, whereas mine never has a problem.

We’re on the same wifi network all round.

Are app updates rolled out? Is there anything else I can try?

Android updates are usually performed as a “staged rollout” – so it might take several days for the update to show up for every user.
You can click the Bookmark button in the release announcement thread for the Plex for Android app to be informed about releases

Edit: That being said… 5 days seems a long time

Same issue here:
Google Play offers 8.7.2
Amazon App Store offers 8.7.3

Had to manually download and install the apk from the announcements’ post.

Amazon is notoriously late to update apps.

Thanks all

I’ll try and push through his update from the announcements post, and see how we go :slight_smile:
