I would like to bring up to date AGAIN. As a starting point, the Mac Studio is running Plex Play version 1.99.0.210. This version is causing the error to display.
Having made my older Mac work with an older version of the Plex Player (version 1.67.2.3705), I was curious about restoring an older version on the Mac Studio. I started with one back (version 1.91.0.129). After downloading this version in the zip, I opened up the zip to get the app. My Mac Studio will NOW run without the error “Something went wrong” popping up. I am going to assume that I should really NOT call these installs. They are more like just downloading an app because there is NO INSTALL being done. Just a download, unzip the app, run the app.
Now having said all of that, decided to see how far back the older version would go before they would NOT run on this Mac Studio. For Mac Studio users, here is what I found.
The most current app causes the error to display and locks down the app so all you can do is kill the app (sometimes Force Kill). The next 4 versions run on this Mac Studio without any issues (so far). The last version will just NOT run on the Mac Studio at all.
So, it looks like whatever issues there are, came with the latest version and that is where Plex developers should look.
So my next question will be, if older versions work on my two Macs, is there some way to get older MacOS Plex Player versions for the iPad & iPhone.
Next on my list is to see if there is an older version for the PCs that I have here.
At least I have two MAJOR wins here.
