2 days ago, Plex started exiting while watching a video, or trying to play a video. Am streaming from a Macbook Air to a Fire TV stick. The app keeps returning to the Plex logo, or returning to the Fire TV home screen. This has never happened (in about 8 years of use)… Server Version#:1.40.4.8679-4…

As we are unable to reproduce the issue we can’t confirm 100% that this will fix it but we would appreciate some feedback. (Please make sure to uninstall t…

no side-loading experience. but will test things out this weekend (after all my resets, etc)…

Once i got the update it was still crashing so i cleared cache and rebooted the device and was able to watch a show withought problems.

My friend was suddenly having this with his Firestick starting 2 or 3 days ago, he would hit play and then it would immediately exit back to the home screen. Rebooting and unplugging it didn’t fix it. Yesterday the app store said he was on the latest version, but I had him delete the app and reins…
