Thanks.
Iāve just started having this problem and like anything else broken in plex, not surprised its been an issue for MONTHS.
Sometimes the only way to get things fixed is to be annoying. But Plex doesnāt fix anything anymore.
Weāre just going to have to keep tagging staff until this gets fixed.
@BigWheel
If I have news I will provide it. Unfortunately there are lots of bugs on android, each of which are a top of importance to those who experience them, and the team is tackling them as they can. You are welcome to tag me, I will poke devs about it but I unfortunately canāt make the fix come faster.
There may be other reasons for the restart but from what I have seen in this topic it is due to images embedded in the file. If you donāt have images embedded in the file that this happens with then it may be a different issue for similar symptom and would need logs for that and a sample file.
@BigWheel The issue as I see here is that Plex is trying too hard to add features that the product is suffering from operating in itās most basic function. I noticed that you are now looking to beta test the feature to skip the end credits like you do with the opening intro. Cool feature, but your product can apparently no longer properly stream files that have embedded pics that match a certain quality where this was never a problem before. Why doesnāt Plex take a break from attempting grandizing new features for a short bit and concentrate on fixing BASIC FUNCTIONALITY issues first!!! A complex system based upon an unsound foundation is bound to fail.
You are welcome to feel whatever you wish. Plenty of folks complain daily that we are not implementing their feature request they see as the utmost importance. Iām not going to get into a debate about it. Cuz it will lead nowhere and wonāt fix the issue at hand faster

@BigWheel Itās not a debate. Itās sound logical advice: A complex system based upon an unsound foundation is bound to fail.
Besides, if the program canāt work on a sound basic level, what good is adding features?
And this is a perfect example of the thinking at Plex HQ, "oh we got all this money lets add some crap that also wonāt work instead of just making sure paying customers can play movies or TV "
There are bug reports from years ago that still havenāt been fixed, there are startup projects on github less then 6 months old that can play more types of video and do it better.
How about instructions to work around this at least? how do we stop pictures from being embedded on the video file, hell I donāt even understand how this is a problem but Iāll take any fix that lets me watch for more then 10 seconds without a problem.
That all depends on what you used to make the file. I have no idea what you used to to that. I personally use Mkvtoolnix for mkvs, and metaz for mp4s for editing embedded metadata
@BigWheel I think you are missing the broader picture of what @sv117 and I are sayingā¦ Plex needs to get back to basics and have a solid foundational product FIRSTā¦ before attempting to add on newer features.
I understand what you are saying. What I am saying is with large number of bugs Iām sorry the one yāall in this topic happen to care about it is not getting pushed to the top of the list.
oh I got tons more, you want a list? Android for firestick, restarts when starting a movie/show and completely restarts plex, ios is very broken with 4k playback being a huge issue. Should I go on?
The point is you took what was working and somehow broke it over pictures? seriously this is the dumbest bug Iāve ever seen in a video player, a movie is just pictures played really fast so by the logic Iām seeing in the responses it should be crashing 100% of the time?
I know there is more bugs. I already said that. Again Iām sorry the bugs you happen to care about are not at the top of the list.
