Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252 / 1.20.5.3600 Player Version#: 5.4.2 TLDR: Similar to other threads I’ve seen, PS5 app is largely unusable. Network utilization while streaming via PS5 is HIGHLY suspect. Both server and PS5 are hardwired GbE on same network with just a GbE switch between them. CP…

I’m having the same/similar issues with buffering. Oddly when I check the file on the PS5, the max rate is 8Mbps but it appears as though the server reports it at 13Mbps.

Same issue here! I can watch a 1080p movie, but 4K buffers within seconds. Samsung tv streams fine through app. This seems to be a day 1 issue

Same issue. Even 1080p files can not be played without stuttering (Direct Stream). Xiaomi MiBox plays 4k without problem. Plex server 1.22.1.4200 Plex 5.11.1.

5 months now since the PS5 was released and the Plex app is still trash! Buffering renders it totally frustrating and unuseable. Any updates asap would be appreciated. If a fix is not in the pipeline then at least I (we) can find other solutions and bin the PS5 Plex app.

PS5 is still buffering / stuttering. it is really a big pain, a raspberry pi4 is more powerfull than a PS5 with plex. it is the only truth. [image] PS5 - stuttering direct stream Gaming Consoles Really all you’re looking for is a message with an IP address in it. Open you…

Crazy that Plex don’t seem to be able to release clients that are capable at even the most basic level, went through this with PS3/4 and now 5. This time they say it’s Sonys fault but every other media app on my ps5 plays perfectly so I have doubt there. Have given Plex over three hundred dollars s…

yup all about adding new pointless features instead of getting their apps to work properly. Whether its android, IOS, xbox, etc countless playback/sync issues but hey least they added live tv no one watches!

Do the PLEX developers even read these blogs to figure out what is frustrating us?

Hi there. I assure you we are listening to your feedback and it is not being ignored. We’ve spent a lot of time investigating the reported playback issues on the PS5 and have been working with Sony on potential solutions. We are making good progress, but don’t have a solution available just yet.
