Why does Plex keep freezing up in the middle of an episode of a tv show?

Mind sharing some more details?
e.g. (but not limited to):
- version of PMS, running on what platform?
- what player are you using?
- what kind of media is this about?

No idea what āPMSā is or what player Iām using. Media type is tv episodes, namely episodes of The Dresden Files. Iām playing them over the internet via my mobile data.
Got youā¦ youāve been watching those episodes from Plexā video on demand service. Iām not aware of any general issuesā¦ my guess is that Plex is trying to play an ad thatās not loading or being blocked and gets Stuck in the process.
PMS refers to Plex Media Serverā¦ itās the software they offer to catalog your own media and to stream it to client apps on many different platforms (incl. mobiles, smart TVs or streaming boxes)
Yes. It freezes on the commercials (ads). Is there any solution to this problem?
You could check if you experience this behavior on any of the native clients (e.g. Plex for Mac / Windowsā¦). If you have content/ad blocking on your system, you might try to configure an exception for Plex.
Not aware of any common issues with the streaming/ads in general.
Canāt check those. No computer. Phone is Android. Donāt think I have any content/ad blocking on my phone. I watched last two seasons of Andromeda with no problems.
So itās only happening with the ads playing during āThe Dresden Filesā?
That seems to be the case.
