Hey there!  
I set up plex on my unraid machine, and streaming works on the machine itself. Trying to stream to my phone however, shows the error “An error occured when trying to play the video”. I tried reinstalling on both sides, but it didnt help.[1582582219237\_plex-log.zip](https://forums.plex.tv/uploads/short-url/nADEqNy8PmuKSyAcuPaqcO2T1q4.zip) (272.2 KB)

I’d like to add, that streaming mp3 and flac files works without a problem.
