Plex iOS intermittent black screen

Issue:

I’m getting frequent black screen flashes during playback on my iPhone 15 Pro Max using Plex. The video cuts to black every few seconds and then resumes while streaming. This only started recently and seems specific to Plex on iOS.

Details:

  • iPhone 15 Pro Max, latest iOS

  • Latest Plex app

  • Streaming content (not local)

  • Screen goes black briefly every few seconds, then resumes

  • Happens across different content

What I’ve tried:

  • Reinstalled app

  • Rebooted phone

  • Disabled Direct Play / Direct Stream

  • Tested different quality settings (Max, 1080p, 720p)

Additional info:

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
