Server Version#: 1.32.7.7571 (docker, OS Linux Debian Bookworm)
Player Version#: Plex HTPC for windows 1.48.1.3982-eacf6f65
Companion App Version#: Plex Android 10.0.0.4149 (c2617d8)
Error Message:
[CompanionPlayer] There is no response for the given command ID 20
Started happening today, though I’ve had similar issues for months but it seems like today the issue is worse and I’m getting an error in the console.
I work from home and have plex running on another monitor. I use my phone to change what’s playing, that way I don’t have to keep switching back to my personal PC.
I can connect to Plex HTPC on my PC from my phone, and I can select items to playback, but when I go to skip to the next item Plex HTPC doesn’t respond. On the companion app it shows the next item that’s going to play for a second, and switches back to the current playing item.
After about 1 minute, Plex HTPC will switch to the next item, but the companion app will throw an error with the message
“An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again.”
If I press okay on that prompt, the companion app returns to the home screen and playback stops on Plex HTPC.
If I don’t press okay Plex HTPC continues playing as normal, even goes to the next item on the list without issue. Problem is I can’t use the companion app anymore, whats even worse is the companion app continues to update the current playing item but I can’t interact with it because if I do then everything gets booted to the home screen.
I’ve been able to repeat this consistently multiple times
- Connect plex android companion to Plex HTPC
- Start playback of a playlist or item, which works fine
- Skip to the next item
- Plex HTPC doesn’t change what’s playing, Plex companion shows next item but returns to current item
- <1 minute of nothing happening
- Plex HTPC changes to the next item
- Plex companion has an error and returns to home screen
- Plex HTPC stops playback and returns to home screen
Network wise the android device isn’t losing connection to the WiFi, has a strong connection that can pull 200 - 300 Mbs which is the max I’ve been able to pull on my phone regardless of the AP.
I have family who works from home and always on zoom meetings and remote streams from my server work fine.
Here’s the log from the server around the time this happens.

Found a way to deal with it for now, the android media notification for plex allows me to skip items.
Seems to be an issue with the latest Plex Pass Beta, 1.32.7.7571
I rolled back to 1.32.6.7557 and the problem seems to be resolved
