Playback error Samsung TV

I’ve had the same issue as above for the last couple of weeks. Connecting to a remote server seemed to work with some videos but not others. I’ve just found a solution to this which I wanted to share in case it helps others.

The only change I needed to do was to set the “Remote quality” to “original” - note the default is “4Mbps 720p”. It appears there’s an issue with the transcoding which causes a playback error. I didn’t need to force the app to use any insecure connections as suggested in other fixes.

Samsung TV (2019), Plex app 5.25.3.

Helo! I have the same issue.
My TV is UN50TU7000G
Version Server Plex Version1.24.5.5173
Version Plex Web Versión 4.63.0
Version Plex TV Client 5.26.3
Platform Version 5.5
Version Samsung SO TV 2101

And when I try to play a movie, shows me the error “Unexpected reproduction error ocurred”
I try with the settings:
On TV - Settings → Advanced → Allow Insecure Connections** is set to Always,
On the server - Settings → Network → Secure connections** is set to Preferred.
But it doesn’t work.
Please, someone knows somethig how to fix this?
Thks

My problem is slightly different. Films play ok on all my TV’s and music plays on 3 out of 4 TVs including through an Amazon fire and Apple TV. But Plex on my new QE50QN94A TV will play some music files, but as far as I can tell, randomly fails to play others (they’re all m4a files). I get the usual unexpected playback error message but no codes or clues as to the possible cause. I’ve tried all the fixes and this still does not resolve the issue for me.
I can connect directly to my NAS and play music that way but the point is that Plex is not working correctly, it’s a widely experienced fault but the programmers just don’t seem to be resolving it.

Maybe someone from Plex development could jump on this thread and tell us exactly what has happened and what they have to do to fix it

Has anyone found a fix for this please?

Works fine on one lg in the house, but another lg and all Samsungs get the same playback error.

I have tried changing the settings in both the server and tvs to allow insecure connections still the same issue.

And tried the playback quality to original but still no luck, it’s driving me insane.

Works fine on all tablets and phones?
