Server Version#: Mac 1.28.2.6151  
Player Version#: 1.52.1.3195-a0c4d5e9

Been happening since 2 server updates ago. Every time I go to resize the screen when a video is playing the program just quits and gives me the option to ignore, submit report to apple etc… Not sure what’s going on. I did do a clean install of the player after completely removing the other one from my system.

System is:  
iMac 24 (2021)  
M1, 8 Core, 16gb Ram

Any ideas folks?

Thanks in advance!

Hmm… I cannot seem to reproduce this with the same version of Plex for Mac (though on an Intel system)

Thanks for testing tom80H! Does anyone on a M1 have this problem? OH my OS version is:

MacOS: 12.5.1 (21G83)

Definitely. It’s been discussed here for months. Started after 1.41. The new video player isn’t able to keep up with window resizing, so it crashes.
