Android TV Plex always have to restart video

Hi, I’ve been using Plex and have been pretty happy with it for the most part.

Though I have had an issue from the start while using it on my Sony Android TV.

When I start playing a video, 98% of the time, it just shows the loading circle forever and have to hit back then play and it works fine.

It’s not a major issue but it gets really annoying after some time. Is there something I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Check the forum. This bug has been reported widely across Android players for a while now. Apparently there should be an older version apk that does not suffer from this bug, not entirely sure. I haven’t looked for it.

I looked through the forum, couldn’t find exactly what I was experiencing.

So if it’s the android app that doesn’t work that great, does the Roku (or any other media box) app(s) work better?

I get this a lot too. Is @anon18523487 aware of this?

Yeah, this is similar to the issue of starting a video, and it immediately stops and goes back to the previous page. Sometimes it stops, sometimes you get the spinner. The devs still haven’t been able to track down the culprit.

I just posted this about 2 weeks ago without any reply. I have this same problem with my Nvidia Shield.
