Also experiencing this issue on a Pixel Tablet. Tablet is connected via wifi to the same network the server is running on. I can play back just fine using the web UI without interruptions on the tablet, it’s just the native Android app that experiences this. If I play things on my phone (Pixel 9 Pro…

Are you running your server on an NAS as well? I just ran into this same problem while traveling so it appears not just when on the same network.

No, I’m running on a Debian host. [goose@Vergil: ~ ] $ uname -a Linux Vergil.goose.ws 6.12.63+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.12.63-1 (2025-12-30) x86_64 GNU/Linux [goose@Vergil: ~ ] $ docker --version Docker version 29.1.5, build 0e6fee6 [goose@Vergil: ~ ] $ docker logs plex [s6-init] …

I get the same error message after a few minutes on my Android phone and Android tablet. At first I thought it was related to subtitles, but even without subtitles the error will still appear. This is new behaviour, Plex didn’t use to do it before.

Hi everyone, As @donut.chief pointed out, I’ve opened a thread for what seems to be a very similar issue: Issues with subtitles, audio changes, and bad HTTP status error on mobile app I’m sharing the details of the problems I’ve encountered here (copied/pasted from my original post), along with s…

Any chance we can get some kind of acknowledgement from any of the Plex staff on this? I’ve been experiencing it for weeks, I’m still experiencing it, and it’s breaking my ability to use my tablet as a client. Happy to provide additional testing or more detailed logs, if required.

Same issue here with android plex app. Bad http statut after few seconds Wifi and 5G connections same result Running on 1.43.0.10467 I had to revert back to 1.42.2.10156, too many problems on last release. I’ll stay away for now.

I’m experiencing the same issue on my Pixel tablet. The damn thing will also buffer endlessly on EAC Audio where other devices won’t have an issue.

Same error on my pixel 9 phone.
