PLEX on iOS now stops showing video on external display when device display is shut off

Before, when using an external display (XR Glasses, for example), I could shut off the display on my iPad and continue to watch the movie on just my glasses. As of this newest release, shutting off the iPad display shuts off the feed to the external display as well. Please fix!

I’m experiencing the same issue with iOS — the app doesn’t switch to HDMI playback mode on an external device and only mirrors the screen. That’s why when you turn off the iPad or iPhone screen, the playback stops.

I hope they fix it soon; ever since the app was redesigned, it’s been causing a lot of problems.

I am also experiencing this issue. It is really ruining our roadtrip workflow. Seems like an easy thing to continue to support
