When selecting media from the Samsung TV (2020), I get the following error:

Playback Error
An error occurred loading items into the play queue.

I get the exact same error with an older (2019) Samsung TV and Xbox One X.

PMS work fine with (very old) Roku. Settings are set to ‘allow unsecure connections on local network’. I can cast video (Plex Android app).

I’ve been dealing with this same error out of nowhere on one of my newer Samsung TV’s. It’s also a 2020 version.

Oddly enough though, it’s the new of the 3 TVs. All the other devices in the house are working without issue…

Not sure about you, but I’m so tired of plex breaking every now and again when it comes to Samsung!

Are you still dealing with this issue?

Yes, I’m still dealing with the issue.

Sometimes, after I cast a video to the TV (I can pause and restart the video with the TV remote), I can start a new video (again with the TV remote) from the TV app without getting an error. But it’s not consistent. I’m wondering if this issue is related to the new ‘claim server’ feature.

And yes, I AM VERY TIRED OF PLEX BREAKING.

Just an update…

Still not working properly, but if I cast (Android/Samsung phone) to a Samsung TV (TV2020), I can sometimes select the next TV episode, and the next, and the next…

X-Box Plex app is completely broken. When Plex first starts, all libraries show up with spinning circles (to left of library) (although the library name is shown). But I can’t select any shows from the X-Box app.

Casting to the X-Box (Android/Samsung phone) sometimes works, but most of the time the progress (to PMS) is lost.

In short, the Plex Samsung TV and X-Box apps are broken.

Obvious (to me) Plex has no intention of addressing the issue.

Decided to replace the Plex app on the Samsung TV with a Fire TV stick. I do miss the screensaver (no option for Plex app on Fire TV stick), but also don’t have to cast from my phone.
