I have 26 video playlists. Which I can no longer locate.
Really, They don’t care…
Is the stability any better yet?
It’s still extremely slow I’m afraid, compared with the Emby app on the same tv.

I agree, I’ve been switching between them both and much prefer Emby. The Plex UI lags a lot for me.

Same here.
Image caching is also painful with Plex on my LG.
Let 3 rows cache, click down and let those rows cache, click back up again and wait for those already cached images to need to load again. It really is no wonder so many people on these forums wrongly state that using a smart tv as a client is the worst option possible. As a Plex client they are probably right, but as a general statement they’re totally wrong.
In Emby the images cache at least as fast as my Shield (native or with Kodi.)
Plus my Shield can’t do the 4K Dolby Vision remuxes that have started to appear.
I think it’s time to stop looking for a half decent Plex client and just stay with Emby.

My Plex LG app is very quick and responsive. Might be time like Hitsville-UK did and Uninstall, Power down TV, remove Existing Device"Plex LG client" from Authorised devices. Then install again.
The processors 2018 and 2019 LG TV’s are far faster but nearly all UHD TV’s post 2016 are preforming well with PLex LG App. Bring on the UNO UI and “Life will be Good”

Yeah mine definitely Improved.
This reminded me as I just finished reinstalling my whole PMS from OS upwards. Again having just this moment checked, this has also seemed to give a further slight speed increase.
Enough to make me regret my recent ATV 4K purchase…erm No!!
I will definitely be following the Smart TV updates though. I’m really keen to see is there are any further improvements when UNO comes to Smart TV’s.
Hi,
New to this thread, having only just started playing with an LG OLED TV with Plex.
Has anybody else had the LG app actually crash the Plex server?
This is in an install with a QNAP NAS (TS-863U running 4.3.6.0895) based Plex server (version 1.15.3.876) with multiple clients (Samsung/Sony/Amazon Fire/etc.)
All the TV’s including this one are connected via ethernet (not wifi)
The new LG (OLED77C8LLA) with current plex app (3.94.1) when trying to play some 4K stuff with TrueHD 7.1 audio stream actually locked up the plex server to the point I could not even stop the service and had to re-start the NAS completely.
I’m not trying to transcode anything, the TV is outputting the Audio via optical to the sound system, the server is not transcoding the audio stream (although for other clients it can/does this).
It’s not consistent, some stuff will play perfectly, other stuff causes it to lock up, usually requiring the Plex server app to be re-started.
Never seen this happen before with any other Plex client?
Comments/Suggestions?
HD-MA audio like you have mentioned is not supported with 10 bit 4K. The work around for titles like the one mentioned is DLNA, not pretty but works.
Not sure I understand why here?
Why would that crash the server? all I am asking it to do is direct stream to the TV?
this works just fine with a Sony 4K TV(android client)…
Err…
Thanks for that, read it a couple of times and not sure what to make of it?
How up-to-date is that? I have several other 4K tv’s that have no issue playing 4K (including 10 bit) stuff direct, and to be fair, the LG does most of the time, yet that link suggest it will never work?
