Hi all, I am getting constant buffering on Xbox One and am at a loss on how to fix it. I’m running Plex Media Server on Windows 10 64 bit and the connection is USB 3.0 Ethernet adapter into home plug, then home plug other end into BT Home Hub 5. The Xbox is also hard wired to the hub. I have no i…

And therein is the biggest travesty of all of this mess. The Xbox One X is a media playing beast. I would need to spend either £1.5k on a media pc or £400 on an Nvidia shield Pro to get the same capabilities from Plex (when it is working). Why should we have to buy additional devices when the only t…

Testing a new app called Jellyfin recently released for Xbox. It has a vibrant community over on Reddit and it seems hopeful that the devs will get 4k, hdr hevc content working. Don’t buy that Nvidia shield just yet Link

Throwing out a hail mary here as I noticed @elan seems to be active on the forums at the moment! Would be really nice to get some traction on this issue.

No one from Plex will speak on this issue, @Moussa used to but he has not addressed the topic or DM’s of this issue in over 6 months

Yeah like I said, hail mary. Just happened to be online at the same time that @elan was responding to other threads and thought why not.

Can you give more info as to wtf is wrong and if there is anything we as users can do to have a semblance of usefulness from the app again? To say it’s in M$ hands after months, if not longer of customer’s posting here for help, borders on disingenuous. Tx

Just an update tried some other things since last month here’s what I’ve found. There’s also a good workaround (FireStick 4K which plays everything including HDR) which I’ll go into later in the post. So first I heard that the Xbox Movies and TV app had recently been updated to support 4K HDR conte…

Yea and I’ve been working with them for months uploading Xbox reports, of the issue and nothing has happened. Literally been in the middle of this issue for 2 years and both sides point fingers at each other saying it’s the other fault for the buffer problems. The end result is this never gets fixe…

Every since I got into 4k videos (maybe 8 months ago) I’ve had issues with Plex on my Xbox One X. I tried it again tonight and while it is better I can go 15 mins or so before it just buffers. Stopping and starting the movie again where it left off works for another 15 mins or so. When I first went…

I chatted with @Moussa. The issue is currently in Microsoft engineer’s hands.
