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](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201636593-mobile-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?

I have the same problem, but don’t know if it is related to a “create table” command.

What i see:

after selecting an episode and pressing the download button i see Plex Server does some conversion. once finished my android phone reports “Queued” as a status. From there it stays and doesn’t change.

I tried using wifi and cellular net, cleared cache, restarted NAS etc.

Is my problem similar to the one described here?
