Hi Guys

I have two LG Tvs. Plex worked perfectly until yesterday.  
Today, Plex stopped work. On both TVs (same time)!!!  
When I choose any video, the screen will stop at three dots. (Pic 1)

I was in 1.12.2.4929 version. I downgraded to version 1.8.4.4249 and it still does not work. Win 10.

If I use LG App, it works perfectly. (Pic 2)

I have one Sony TV and still work.!

Can someone help me?

Thanks

Same problem. I actually started experiencing the problem before I upgraded today to Version 1.12.2.4929. Upgrading didn’t help.

In the mean time, you can use XPlay. It’s free for a 6 day trial. Hopefully that will be enough time for bug fix.

Using the LG TV app doesn’t work. Using LG’s Video feature does but we shouldn’t have to use that.

Fix the native app…this is not a solution.

Exactly the same for me. It is a shame that LGs quality control can let such a major error through.

I think this is a Plex server issue rather than an LG issue. Maybe if Plex updated the app for LG TVs we wouldn’t have had this issue

Same issues. Running LG Plex app versions 2.1.0 and Plex server 1.12.2.4929  
Considering my TV hasn’t had a firmware upgrade since November 2017 and th Rolex app hasn’t been updated since September 2016, I highly suspect this is a Plex Server issue

I am currently using the XPlay app on my LG TV until the problem is fixed. Have scoured the forums and this appears to be the only work around for the moment.
