Error Occurred While Attempting to play this video. Please Check your connection and try again

This is the error I get ever since I updated the Plex app on my android TV. It USED to work by changing a setting in the app to allow the old player ( I THINK thats what it was called) but after the app updated that option is gone and now Plex will not play at al on my Android TV but it does play on my android phone, my PC and my Laptop.

I do not own the Plex server I use so I am not able to touch the actual server settings.

pls help!!!

How are the speed limits set?
I had to change them from 2MBit to maximum.

I have nowhere in my settings on the TV app to do that…

If it’s the official Plex-app you should find the options here (screenshots are from my mobile, should be similar on your TV):

hello am also having the same issue an error occurred while attempting to play this video please check your connection and try again.

I’m getting this same message for a while now. I use Amazon fire stick. All other apps work. My connection is on and runs about 40Mbs. Plex loads, but movies won’t ever play!?
