Hello all,
I am running Plex Media Server version 1.7.2.3878 on MacOS Sierra (v 10.12.5). Both of these are the latest versions. I do not run anything else on the Mac. Everything was working incredibly well until some recent updates to Plex. (Several versions ago, the following problems started to show up):
-
When I select a show, there is a pause for about 15 - 30 seconds and then I get dropped out to the main Plex screen. I navigate through to the show and it loads up. When I change from one show to another, the issue happens again. (Observed on Apple TV 4th Gen and iPhone all running latest OS). This happens quite often now.
-
When watching a show on an Apple TV, the show will stop suddenly and the screensaver kicks in. If I press a button on the remote, the show resumes until the screensaver timeout hits again. Typically rebooting the Apple TV resolves this for a period of time (usually until the next day but sometimes it crops up the same day)
-
Increase in connectivity issues. This was never really an issue before the latest batch of updates.
-
Video freezes but show continues with audio playback. Hitting skip forward or back or pause / play fixes this. It recurs until the device is restarted.
I have tried restarting the Mac and restarting Plex. This happens across multiple devices (several Apple TV units and on an iPhone). I am posting this here in the hopes that someone may be able to share similar experiences and/or a proposed resolution. It is becoming a significant issue which is impacting our enjoyment of Plex.
