No worries, appreciate the help… and after all, it’s me digressing!
I’ve tried it using my new LG C1 TV, My Samsung S20Ultra and the Plex Web - all create the same error. Like you say, the app throws a ‘network error’ or similar, then Plex becomes immediately unavailable for a couple of minutes until it comes back up again.
Here’s some yummy xml from one file, it seems to be anything that’s transcoded down; even 1080p…
