Armv7a working for me as well.

I confirm : working fine with version arm7 and new player enabled.

Thanks for your well appreciated help

I have two Mi box S-es as well and plex stopped working on both since the latest System update from a few days ago. If I disable the new player the old player works with a few videos but most donā€™t play.
Hopefully a fix is coming :slight_smile:

Thew apk is not available any more

It will be probably merged into the next (beta) release, so you need to be a bit patient for the release.

Hello,

I have the same problem. Exist any conclusion?
thanks in advance

71

I am having the same problem as everyone in the thread. Must use old player for Plex to work. Server is working on all other devices besides mibox s.

Is this a client or server issue? My guess is client. I am running Android client v8.0.1.17410 (0cf80098) on Andriod TV v8 on a MIBOX 3 as well as the same app version on my Andriod 9 phone. Get same errors as previously posted. I can gather logs if they will help.

Is there an ETA for a fix? Rolling back to old player does not resolve.

73

Can somebody please share the APK posted above here, it has been removed and I really want to try it!

74

There is a new beta release. Take that

75

Where would I find that? The downloads section on the Plex site just takes me to the Play Store which does not contain the beta release?

Thatā€™s not actually the solution, by the way (disabling experimental video player).

Disabling it, I still have to shuffle between Convert Automatically and Direct Play before a video will even load on the original/normal video player - and thereā€™s no logic behind it because you constantly have to toggle it onto the opposite of what you have set, for every new video you openā€¦

With experimental, the video doesnā€™t load no matter what.

The best workaround so far as been disabling automatic refresh rate.

But, thatā€™s a workaround and not a solution as it removes functionality to fix a bug.

The problems already been fixed in beta.
