Is there a post where I can check for updates on the Android app resolution? Since the “revamp” of the UI, all videos buffer every two minutes and it is unwatchable. It is exclusive to the Android app only and the issue is not replicable on my TV or using Chrome.
Running a Pixel 9 Pro XL, previously videos buffered 1-4 seconds and then were good for the entire duration. This includes shows and movies. The only fix I found today that appears to be working is rolling back to kepler-arm64-v8a-googlePlay-10.26.0.2578-6cc7ea1a.apk, which appeared to be released in June of this year. Rolling back and everything is working as it was.
Six months and the current version of the app is completely unusable still?
That’s crazy. I searched before making this thread and no official posts from devs or responses for that matter.
Hey Devs, even if you aren’t working on it, give us a bs “were working on it”. Six months and your product is still broken without any acknowledgement.
This post I’m quoting was about the Apple TV app but it applies universally because that’s what they’re doing with the app now, a universal code base. I wouldn’t hold your breath for a fix.
You can read the rest of that thread but if they don’t kill PMS and it’s support in the apps in approximately 5 years then I’ll eat my shoe. We aren’t blind. We can see what’s happening, and now we’re starting to get confirmation.
I really thought everyone here used Plex to stream for “free” and not have multiple streaming subscriptions. I think I pay 100 a year for my “sources”. New customers want to pay half that a month for two or three services and still not have access to everything? That doesn’t make any sense.
On another note to find “Plex” over a “Netflix” is absurd. The first post I found when trying to figure out the buffering issue had a related post of not wanting to pay.
