Server Version#: 1.43.3.10828
Player Version#: see image below
Lately, the Plex app on my LG tv (model LG OLED65C1PUB) has been getting VERY slow and often telling things like “You have nothing on your home page” which is patently FALSE. When I try to play a show or movie it often just sits there with the spinner until I get bored and switch back to YouTube TV. Later, when I try again, it works fine.
Sometimes, I try with the Android app on my phone while the LG is spinning and it works just fine. As does the Plex app on Windows and through a browser (also on Windows). Yet, even after trying all of those others, the LG app is STILL just spinning. If I go back one and re-select the show, sometimes it will start right up, sometimes just another spinner.
Also, will also randomly tell me that I don’t have enough bandwidth and offer to downgrade the image quality. It SHOULD be connecting directly to my home server over a 1GB Wired Ethernet with no one else using it (and yes, I have verified that with Wireshark and a network monitor port on my switch.) It seems to just arbitrarily through those errors up when it gets confused about something.
Probably trying to figure out why I don’t want any of the new crap that has been added to Plex in recent years, I suppose. I was going to try hooking up a Roku instead until I saw the horror stories about a new, unusable, mostly non-functional “upgrade” to the player UI on Roku. I hope that crap isn’t on its way to LG.
Ahem. Is any of this known to the Plex masters? Is there any way to fix it?
