Android Mobile App Bug: Downloads Completely Broken

Server Version#: 1.43.2.10687
Player Version#: 2026.13.0

I am completely unable to use the Downloads feature on the latest version of the Android mobile app. Even after performing a complete app data/cache wipe, uninstalling, and reinstalling the app, the download initialization fails instantly.

Looking at the device logs, the root cause appears to be a fatal JavaScript/database initialization error where the app fails to execute its own CREATE TABLE query for the local downloads database.

is this a known issue???

I opened a thread on exactly the same issue a couple of hours before you. Downloads are behaving exactly the same way for me too

any responses on your thread? Theres no logs on the server, the mobile app logs point to the data base being corrupted. My friend uses iOS and has the same issue.
Maybe the latest update broke the database?

Do plex even have a tracker for issues? or jsut moderators feeding back to devs?

Thanks for reporting. From another thread on the same topic.
