Hi, I’ve been very pleased with plex on my Sony A8H but now after 8.16.0 it is suddenly very sluggish to navigate. It’s nothing system wide because all other apps/system is fine.
Tried rebooting, forcing all other apps, clearing cache, rebuilding the cache… etc. Nothing seems to work. Somehow I’m thinking this whole local caching thing has something to do with it… but it’s just my gut feeling. Will try a complete reinstall later. Could you make that a setting maybe that can be enabled/disabled?
Same thing happening here. Suddenly sluggish and I also cant play 4k without getting warning of slow connection. Apple tv, with same cable and plex app, works without a problem.
So, I found 8.16 to be a bit laggy, so I uninstalled and went back to 8.14.1, then 8.15.2, then 8.16, then 8.17, and all of them seemed to work fine
I had to uninstall the app to downgrade, so I wonder if something was misconfigured or in a bad state or something
I have a Sony XH950 and can also reproduce the problem.
I’ll try uninstall / reinstall a little later and will report back, however if that does resolve the issue, it begs the question… Why?
EDIT: How did you get and install an earlier version? I presume if I go straight to the Play Store I’ll just get the current version?.. Although perhaps I won’t need to downgrade to fix the issue?.. Questions, questions! lol
Yeah I also did all of that, problem was still there. Will try to upgrade my 8.15 to see if that somehow works better than a fresh install of 8.16 (…seems like that would be very weird though)
Looks like in new versions 8.16, 8.17 changed home screen design, with creating background blur color for each selected item posters, and maybe this new feature slow down app.
In 8.15 version always displayed grey background.
Also in 8.16 when start play any video I see black/white full screen lines before displaying loading screen.
I didn’t see any real difference in performance from that change on my 2016 Sony Android TV. The lines thing I have no idea on, I’m afraid Can you provide a video of what you’re seeing, and logs from the client?
