The plex dance doesn’t include downgrading the plex version. The official plex article is here. That’s why I’m skeptical, but like I said, I will try it. The version, given it’s a brand new VM, shouldn’t matter. I started on 1.13, the issue was present, upgraded to 1.14, brand new VM on 1.40, same issue. This doesn’t appear to be a version-based issue, as this has been reported since 2012 with Plex. But again, I’ll give it a shot.
