Plex for Roku Video and Audio freezes

Server Version#: 1.29.2.6364
Player Version#: Latest Roku Version

I have noticed the past couple of days when watching movies and tv shows from my library on our Roku tvs that randomly the video and audio will just freeze. It no longer plays, pausing and resuming does nothing, it’s not buffering or anything just straight frozen, and requires a manual seek to get it to work again, or exiting playback and starting again. Has this been happening to anyone else?

I am also having this issue on multiple Roku clients in my home.

Player : 7.0.19.8058-54d0393d3
Server - Linux ubuntu - 1.30.0.6442-5070ad484 & also happened on 1.30.0.6406-fcf2fcc0a

Occurs on direct play and transcoded files. Seems like it impacts higher bitrate video files (>20Mbps) most frequently. These are also HD and UHD files. I have not had this freeze occur playing SD content.

EDIT - wanted to add this this behavior occurs to all hosts in my home, some are connected via wifi, and some are ethernet on the same switch as my server.

Also, my NVidia shield clients on the same network are unaffected and do not display this behavior.
