I’m experiencing strange issue when casting movies, music from Plex Web app, Plex iOS app or Home Assistant to Samsung 2019 TV. Playback starts fine and playback control works fine, but 3-4 minutes later seems like Plex Tizen app crashes and PMS drops the player. What is strange that movie keeps pla…

After some more investigation found a problem source. At first I thought it was okay to have such a massive log file, but then I realized that Plex TV app and device which casted the video, starts spamming server with GET and POST requests. It’s at least 100 requests in 1 second. This constant spam…

Same issue with Client version 5.31.2. Plex Media Server: 1.25.5.5492 I tried casting videos from Plex Media Server installed on Windows, but had similar experience like with Linux platform version. If I’m the only one with this issue, maybe this bug affects only this 2019 model TV?

I did some testing. Downgraded Plex Media Server to 1.21.4.4079 (released 2021 February 26th) Downgraded Plex TV app to 5.10.0 (released 2021 March 3rd) Used manual server configuration to access PMS. You might ask, how did I downgrade TV app? Blocked *.plex.tv subdomains for my Samsung TV so…

I don’t experience this issue anymore! Well, 1 time out of like 30 tries issue appeared, but I’m still happy. @sLumpy , was this addressed in recent app update? Looks like it wasn’t mentioned in changelog. I don’t know if it was update, or something changed in my setup.
