Hello,

I am trying to stream a TV series from my Synology NAS 920+ to my Phillips Android OS TV using the original Home streaming Maximum video quality setting and i get an error code: “An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again.”

The TV is connected to the internet via ethernet cable. I have no problems streaming any other series or movie to this device. I have tried streaming the same episode to other devices such as my iPhone and the Video plays at original quality. Prior to updating my plex server i had no problems streaming this series and now this is the only series that doesn’t stream specifically episode 2 - 6.

I have had a look around the forums and have seen various things like disable audio pass through which is already disabled. Ive seen some people have changed the player to the old player which didn’t work for me. Ive swapped the video files out completely with alternatives but still have the same problem. The only thing that works is adjusting the video quality down to 720p and it plays but this isnt ideal.

Everything else that i play on the plex app using my tv works and streams at original quality. This is the only thing that doesnt.

Please see attached logs and any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.

I have re-analysed all the problem episodes. I have re-installed plex on my TV and added my TV’s IP to the list of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth.

It still doesn’t play these files.

Please see attached, new logs. Plex Media Server Logs_2020-08-31_19-29-55.zip (1.8 MB)

Thank you again for your help.

On your Philips TV in Plex go to Settings -> Advanced -> Enable new player -> OFF
Try again.

Hi, Thank you for commenting. I tried this before posting this on the forum. It didnt work for me.

Ive stopped the server and restarted it as requested in my Nas. I have recreated the issue and downloaded the log from the TV. Please see attached TV log. TVlog.txt (1.2 MB)

Here is the XML of the one file i played.
