[image] In the last few months I’ve noticed that Plex no longer works properly on my Samsung TV. I’ve been a Plex user for years so I was shocked to see that every single thing I attempted to load would hang for a while before showing a “multimedia file format not suppported” playback error.

[image] Playback error on samsung tv Smart TVs I just recently purchased a new samsung smart TV. I installed the the latest plex app, logged in and tried to play 2 newly added movies but for some reason it doesn’t play them. I have tried on the mobile app, ps5, fireTV and …

Is there a way perhaps to roll back to an old working version?

Allow insecure connections set to always. Prior to that it was set to on the same network as server which didn’t work either
