Latest Plex for Mobile (iOS and iPadOS) 2025.11.1 on local media, but Plex server on different subnet stops playing after 1 minute 30 seconds and then a spinning wheel comes up and does not stop spinning. Previous version had no issues. I have lifetime plexpass. Plex on AppleTV also no issues.
Same issue on iPad - playback of media on local network stops and restarts just 5 seconds into playback. I have Client Version 2025.10.2(981) on an iPad Air 3rd Gen running iOS 18.3.2. I don’t see newer version of Plex available. Maybe my device is no longer supported and I can’t download fixes anymore? Before this update playback worked just fine.
Plex version 2025.12.0 seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks.
Plex versions after 2025.12.0 (now on 2025.15.0) all have the same issue, they stop playing after like 2 minutes. Can you please fix this? Plex iOS and iPadOS are useless now.
Still having this issue, weeks after the update has been live, what is going on with plex development? Plex in this state is not enjoyable on iOS
This sounds like what I am seeing as well
I did some digging. Plex for iOS works on-the-go over cellular, even when I don’t have a portforward on the router. Locally I noticed Plex for iOS was connecting over ipv6 to the NIC in another network than the wifi network. I disabled ipv6, no success. Then I changed the preferred NIC to the wifi network, also no success. But after closing and starting Plex on iOS it connected to the NIC in the wifi network and is working fine.
Why does Plex not support one network hop at home? Traffic from any RFC1918 network to any RFC1918 should be allowed as local.
