Plex doesn't read my files (movies, shows) anymore

Hi there,

I have a server which contains movies or shows that I get, and I usually read them with plex, until two days ago. Now the movies I’m trying to watch are loading forever and never starts.

Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

(My server works perfectly fine, everything works perfectly fine but it won’t play the file).

Hi – you’re giving awfully little information about your setup for anyone to come up with suggestions.

  • do you get any error messages
  • how are you trying to play the files? (e.g. in your home network or from outside the network, wired or wireless)
  • which version of Plex Media Server do you use?
  • which client do you use? (also… up-to-date?)

Logs as well would be nice :wink:

Hi, sorry for the lack of information…

I don’t get any error messages at all.
I’m using it at home with my computer (Mac and windows and it doesn’t work on both). I think I’m using the latest version of plex media server because it doesn’t ask me to update.
Im paying each month a seed box (a bat box from seed boxes.cc)
I’m using plex media server on my browser Google Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks for your time I think I told you everything I know :slight_smile:

Sadly you didn’t follow what was in the logs link I provided you with above.

We need you to go into settings->server->troubleshooting and press the download logs button and then upload the downloaded zip file
