Hi,
For the last few days, I’ve been unable to play any local files on Plex + NVidia Shield for more than a few seconds (usually 3s) before 20s of buffering kicks in. Then 3s of play again, and then more buffering.
The log error is: “An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host”.
I have been using this setup for 5+ years with no issues. No hardware changes (but many windows 11 updates ofc).
Network was tested at 1Gbps and Netflix/Prime running on same Shield run fine. In case it matters, internet was tested on teh Shield at 800/100.
I tried many files, some very old. All using direct play. All behave the same. Network bandwidth used is barely 12Mbps / 1000.
It does not appear to be related to the file format and no transcoding occurs.
I reverted the media server (running on Windows 11) back to 1.41.1.9057 but it did not help. I am now on beta 1.41.3.9232 (trying a beta also didn’t help).
I disabled HDR tone mapping, dropped the scaling to 720p on the player. Nothing helped.
Any ideas?
