"An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again." Firestick and Shield. Please help?

I get a connection error when I try to play my media from firestick or plex. I have tried Uninstalling and reinstalling the app, clearing data and various other tricks from the forum. Nothing seems to work. I have attached logs. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Fixed - I on Shield, I went to the google play store and searched Plex. Then I strolled down to plex media server and hit update. The Firestick and Shield both work now.

Hope this helps another rookie like myself.

This worked for me as well (Shield + Pixel 4a + various FireTV devices). Previously I tried other suggested workarounds w/ passthru audio, hvec limitsy, downgrading the shield plex app (this worked but only on shield player) etc. This finally worked by updating the Media Server on Shield itself.

Prior to the last ~2 weeks things were working fine for me.
