Server Version#: 1.21.1.3876 Player Version#: 5.6.1 (PS5 APP) Hello, my PS5 App is not working correctly. Buffer appears very often and i have to set the Quality on the App to 4mBit to get rid of that problem. I have tried to deactivate Video Transcoding, then the app is playing nothing. It i…

Damn, that’s really disappointing. Guess I’ll keep the Shield.

Just got an update on Plex today and still the same issue. Direct Stream and direct play are not working. So lousy…

Yep, this is still a major issue! I don’t quite understand HOW and/or WHY we’re not seeing more mentioned about this. VERY odd how quiet it is in regards to the topic, actually! This is huge!

Any news on this yet? It’s almost unworkable on the PS5. How about a good workaround while you fix it? I pay for plex and it does not work on my PS5 without major hassle

Are you jokers going to answer this? I pay good money for an unusable product

And even better, when you want to try older versions to see if any of them work better somehow, they freaking deny them. $$$ to the garbage

I’ve given up on Plex for PS5.

Sticking with my Apple TV where it works great.

I’m not sure if there’s a way to escalate the issue to Sony.
