I've seen this a couple of times now. Sometimes i'll go to play a movie and instead of the movie coming up, it starts playing the audio with no video. Now before everyone jumps up and tells me to hit TAB to bring the Now Playing item back into view....I've already tried that. When I do that, it goes full screen with audio player controls. So far the only way I have to fix it is to reboot.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance!!

I've seen the same issue a few times, likewise the only way I've managed to get the video to playback properly has been to do a reboot.
Yep, same issue here. Has only become apparent since updating to 0.4.1.

I also have this issue from time to time (And I have this since 0.4 RC4).
It is not frequent and does not seems to be linked with the type of movie you want to see

Unfortunately I, and a few thousand others users, cannot replicate this issue, although it seems that one or two others are experiencing it.
Couple of remedies you can try - reflashing your SD card, checking your power supply is at least 1 amp, preferably 2 amp, check your over clock settings, if any, are not too extreme (see recommended settings in the sticky), check the codecs are supported by the Raspberry Pi.
If any of these do not rectify the issue then please file an issue here https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex after having read instructions here https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/wiki/How-to-report-a-bug

Not a standard fix (and doesn't help find the problem) is to try set gpu_mem_512=156 in your config.txt, I've seen this problem happen due to memory issues... Of course, this can cause some other glitches, but they usually aren't fatal.
I'll try the gpu_mem_512 fix and see if that makes a difference.
I've noticed that it only seems to happen after a LONG period of inactivity. IE: I go to work and come home....first movie or tv show I hit shows up as a movie. Reboot...and all is well. My Pi has dedicated power and I currently leave it on all the time....

Ned,
Mine are the "Made in the UK" versions (at least as reported by Amazon).
I have 3 of them (2 more coming in today). Out of the 3 of them running currently....only one of the three of them seem to be having the issue so far.

I'm also having this issue, I just posted a thread about it after not seeing this one (oops!). Either way, someone suggested above it could be to do with the power supply - have you tried switching the power supply with one of the RPi's that doesn't have the issue and seeing if the problem follows the power supply?
The point made in the other thread about the fanart screensaver causing the Pi to run out of memory is an interesting one. I enabled that screensaver a while ago, and I don't *think* I had this problem before that.
I'll try disabling it tonight and see how it goes.

Interesting. I'd only started using the art screensaver recently too, and can't remember these symptoms occurring before that change either.
I’ve had the smart screensaver since it was first introduced as far as I recall but this problem has only started happening in the past few months. Then again I can’t remember exactly when the smart screensaver was introduced…

Several days later, and I've not had this problem re-occur yet. Its probably too early to say conclusively that this has solved the issue, but the early signs are positive.
FYI, this issue is on Github here: https://github.com/RasPlex/RasPlex/issues/244
