Increasingly poor performance on Samsung J5505

Plex Players

Server Version#: 4.87.2
Player Version#: 2.012 (latest available on Samsung Apps)
Over time, the performance of the Plex app on my Samsung UE43J5505AK have worsened. I think it is a combination of cumulative firmware updates to the television and changes to the Plex server and no updates on the Plex app since 2018.

Examples of what what is worse is:

  • Changing languages in the before playing movie/series doesn’t work, but has to be changed during playback.
  • Jumping in a movie freezes the app completely and the TV has to be rebooted.
  • Interface is sluggish compared to before.

Also, there are a lot of features not implemented, such as “skip intro” for instance.

Seeing how there has been no update since 2018, has this branch of the Plex app been dropped completely?

That Plex client was developed by a user, not by Plex. As you can see by the date last updated, it is no longer supported.

Consider getting a streaming device that runs a current Plex client. For example:

  • Amazon FireStick 4K, 4K Max, Cube
  • Roku
  • AppleTV 4K
  • Nvidia Shield Pro
  • Google Chromecast with Google TV

Aah, that’d certainly explain it. Thank you and thank you for your suggestions. I’ll probably get one of those in the near future. :slight_smile:
