iOS - External Screen support (freezing) - Version 2026.12.0

Server Version#: 1.43.2.10687
Player Version#: 2026.12.0

Hello everyone,

I have got myself XREAL glasses and since they simply act as an external screen I am using them to watch stuff during household work etc. iOS has an integrated capability to show a video output even the device is locked. Works with Apples TV app etc. Now doing this with Plex the video continues for some seconds and then freezes. Audio continues but the frame freezes until the device is waked up again.

I have found previous posts about this issue and really can’t understand this hasn’t been fixed yet or ever reacted to by Plex. ( External screen support iOS version (2025.13.0 (1025)) )

Since the glasses work in the TV app etc it has to do with Plex…

Anyone else here having this issue?
