Every time I swipe away a notification telling me someone has started playing something from my server, the android app crashed with a “Plex has stopped” error.

Im having the same issue, each time a user plays something and my push notification says a show started, my device manager on android says plex is crashing. Its not crashing as I can use it with no issues, but since the latest update this pops up every time now.
