Plex buffering on direct play

Plex Players Smart TVs

Hi All,

Sorry - complete novice on this. However, recently content has been occasionally buffering while playing on my Samsung smart TV. Every so often ‘buffering’ will appear and it will skip a small portion of the video and then resume. This never used to be an issue.

Looking at the dashboard, I’ve confirmed that is direct playing both the video and audio, so not a transcode problem. On the network bandwidth it spokes around 40mbps - which I believe is normal - but also spikes to 100mbps which I believe is when the buffering happens.

Again, I never had this issue until recently (i’m guessing an update)

Any thoughts?

There appear to be issues with 1.16.4 on PMS and Samsung TVs. If you can downgrade your PMS to 1.16.3 that might be the best fix for you in the short term.
