@BigWheel I am now suffering from this exact same problem too using Plex on my Sony TV (Plex v 8.1.2.18135). However I am having to run PMS Version 1.17.0.1841 because your hardware transcoding has been broken for intel graphics since the introduction of v1.18 and still remains broken even with v1.19.

Here’s a network log I pulled from the Android TV client: plex-androidtv-network log.txt (1.2 MB)
As a Plex pass holder, this is seriously pissing me off.
