So I was on vacation for a couple weeks and when I got back I was able to update PLEX as well as my Apple TV (4th gen) I’m now running:
tvOS 12.4 (16M568)
PLEX version 1.16.4.1469
UPDATE: now running PLEX version 1.16.5.1488
(With no changes positive, or negative)
When I open Plex on my AppleTV all my movies and TV shows pop right up. When I click on a movie all the reviews, actors, etc load right up. But when I hit play, the wheel comes up for a sec, then the screen goes dark & the wheel comes back up… and it stays, like, forever. The movie just never comes on.
So there’s the problem.
The only other additional info I can think to offer is, I’m using WiFi on my MacBook Pro(server) as well as the AppleTV. My movies & shows are stored on a 4TB HDD (with a few hundred GB of free space still) hooked up via USB. No NAS involved here. When the movie is “attempting” to play & I go to activity monitor on my Computer it shows nothing… Additionally, if I play a movie on my phone or the Comp itself everything plays just fine AND shows up in activity monitor just as it should (direct play etc)
I was able to get all my TV episodes to play just fine for some reason… and the movie Avatar. No idea why but only that movie, lol.
Please Help! Any additional questions just ask
