Bug: Playback/pause status on dashboard is not working properly when playing stream from android pho

Plex Media Server
,
1

Server Version#: 1.43.1.10561
Player Version#: 2026.5.0 (971050036)
Running on Android 16 on a Pixel 10 Pro.

When I playback media from the android app, the dashboard on the server will list the media as playing even if I pause. It seems to not recognize the pause state, and instead just keeps showing the counter increase and state read as “playing”.

can confirm this issue, seems to only happen with the Android client. Plex Web player is correctly shown in Pause states.

Thanks for reporting. I am filing it as an issue.
