Server Version#: Player Version#:9.0.6.31998 A recent and very annoying issue has popped up on my nVidia Shield Pro. When I try to play movies or TV shows, I get nothing but the yellow spinning circle. Regardless of how long I wait, nothing happens. If I look at the Plex Dashboard on my laptop, …

I’ve recently had issues similar to this, but it was the WiFi of the Shield. I made a post about the bug, but ended up using a small travel router in repeater mode right next to the Shield. With a wired connection everything was fine.

[image] jammnrose: I only seem to have this issue with 4k HDR content, and only certain files. One file refuses to play (infinite buffer). Another skips the first 3 minutes no matter what I do. I’m attempting to play them via direct play. If I use DLNA and VLC on the Shield, the files play jus…

I have this exact same issue. Unsure what I can do to help or try to narrow down, but I’d thought I’d post so the devs can see it doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident. **** I tell plex to transcode it to 1080p it works, but that defeats the point.

That audio bitrate sounds like a deep analysis is needed. That or it needs to be remuxed again.

The newest version is broken guys! I have the same frustrating issue with some files not being played as well. So in Plex’s fashion it is unusable again with every new update! Try to roll back to the old version 8.26.0.28833 and you can play all files! I tried it and keeping this version! You can do…

Same issue here, 2017 shield with external plex server, wired connection, 1080p content. Happens every day and I have to reboot the shield before I can start playing things and then I’m good until tomorrow. No other (non-shield) players are affected (roku, ios, android, web). I even factory reset my…

Did a bit more analysis of things with issues and it seems it’s HDR10+ content that wont play regardless of the audio inspection issues. 3 different media files with HDR10+ get stuck on the yellow circle, other regular HDR10 content plays fine. The HDR10+ also plays in VLC on the Shield through DNL…

[image] coop3r: Confirmed, rolling back to 8.26.0.28833 fixes my playback issues with the HDR10+ content and the same HDR10+ media that will not play on 9.0,9.1,9.2 plays back instantly on the older version. If we could get a version that fixes the pause/skip functionality AND plays back the HD…
