Hello! When I am playing a video and my laptop goes to sleep (if I pause and the computer sleeps, or I close the lid) and then I wake the computer and play the video, it will play for a minute or two and then it will stop playing, constantly “buffering” – the only way to resolve this is to refresh the client. This happens on several different Mac laptop clients (Pros and Airs) on a Windows Server.

I have tried this on older server and web versions (1.24 and 4.6x) and it was also happening here.

I saw another user was having the same issue awhile back that went unresolved. Here is a link to their issue:

Same here… for years already. I’m really wondering why nobody picks this up because it really destroys the overall Plex experience.
