Black Screen After 5 Minutes

Installed Plex on my Xbox One today and finally got it all setup.


Went to watch a file everything was going fine until about 5 minutes in the to went black but audio was still playing.


I can pause the file and the audio pauses but the video doesn’t return.


If I press B the file goes back to the menu and the Plex dashboard / menu are visible again.


Anyone have any ideas?

Plex added a screen saver for plasma users in the Xbox app update. This seems to dim after 2 minutes and black screen after 5 with no way to disable it for those that don't want it.

People have reported it doing it during movies, see here: [Xbox One New Update](https://forums.plex.tv/topic/130738-xbox-one-new-update/) <-- horrid name, but it's about this issue.

I’m getting this. Watched a film earlier,xbox connected to projector. Every couple of minutes I’m having to press a button on the xbox controller ,to wake it from dimming. So annoying.

do an XBOX one hard reset, that should fix the issue.

Yeah just read this in the other topic,I’ll try it in the morning. Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys will try that

Tried the hard reset which I believe is hold power the power button on the console for 10 seconds and that didn’t fix the issue.


Screen still dims after a few minutes then a few minutes later screen goes black.


Any other thoughts?

I mentioned this in the other thread - but if you could post the exact steps on how you launch Plex and the video, we can try and reproduce it here and get it fixed. Thanks!
