I have had the same issues with plex on every device I own, android tablet, android phone, Android TV Box, windows and apple. Plex became so unreliable that it was no longer useful to me. I brought these issues up on multiple forms to end. I have stopped using plex and have switched to emby… no m…

[image] tomdny: I have had the same issues with plex on every device I own What issues might that be?

remote access don’t work and when it works is only for 15 minutes and it disconnects, use to be very reliable!. I been updating my devices with the new updates, still the same.

I have two Plex servers in my house and the remote access has always worked fine. I’ve got a decent consumer router/access point and keep my network fairly simple. My Tablo and Channels DVR are also accessible outside my network. If switching to Emby has fixed your problem - awesome! I’ve got a tes…

Plex by far, does not suck. Sure some areas need some improvements. I’ve been using them for years. It’s one component in my home that is the most stable. I think your problems are outside or Plex, or possibly the hardware you’re using.

I concur with OP. Plex has been unreliable lately especially with remote access. Disconnecting after sometime for last 2-3 weeks. I have manual port specified, have latest firmware where they fixed remote access issue. I updated, my router, my NAS. Still the issues remains. Anyway, if someone does …
