I noticed the same issue, and it was either loading forever, or playing in very low quality as it was not connecting locally, even though every other Plex device in the house connects to the local instance fine. It may be related to this thread which seems to be the problem Plex App on Hisense VIDAA – Can’t play local content - #3 by mccau88
