Hi! I recently have starting having an issue on PLEX where no media is played, regardless of type, age, or platform. I simply get a “Playback error: An error occurred loading items to play.” error on Windows / “Error Occurred: Failed to fetch play queue response” on iOS I’m on Unraid using plexinc…

Same issue for me. no resolution so far.

I’m working with one of the team on another thread to try and resolve it - Playback error on every platform - #42 by ChuckPa

Have also been getting the same error with both music and video media for the past few days. Server is running on MacOS X, Plex Server version 1.41.7.9823

I’m having the same issue on browsers, plex for windows. Android seems to play items however. I’ve documented here: [image] An error occurred loading items to play on all items Plex Media Server Server Version#:1.41.7.9823 Player Version#:4.146.0 Since updating to 1.41…

Same issue here, the only thing I can think of is that I updated plex yesterday to 4.147.1 (running in a unraid docker). Playback works in Plex App from windows store. But not from the browser, android or LG TV Plex App :face_with_spiral_eyes:

Scratch that, now I can no longer play the files via the Windows store app.

Yep this has been a frequent issue now. Plex server up to date on Synology, and have the same issue regardless of whether I’m playing on Xbox app or Roku.

Considering the silence from PLEX on the issue, and the responses on the other thread - I doubt they plan to resolve the issue anytime soon. I was told to just make a new instance - I did; and it functions fine. I’m guessing there’s some bug somewhere that might eventually get discovered, otherwise…
