I’m having remote access problems and I have a Plex Pass. Me accessing my own movies remotely. I’ve tried restarting my serve. Uninstall my plex app on my phone and that did nit work. I can play my movies over wifi fine. Not sure what to do next?

Here is the error I get:

I’ve moved this to a s  
New thread as the one where you originally posted was about some different issue.

As for any ideas…

Did you already have a look at the related troubleshooting support article?

First off… there’s a dedicated [support article on troubleshooting your remote access](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200931138-troubleshooting-remote-access/). I strongly recommend you have a look at that. Find below some additional remarks on how to troubleshoot your remote access setup. Review your internet access / remote access configuration It’s good practice to review if Plex gets the correct public IP address…

Hi!

I’ll look at the Support Articles again. I have access to my plex libraries, I see all my movies,  
I see the movie metadata. When I click to play, the movie looks like it starts playing (a flash), then gives me a black screen, then that message. I Never had this problem before the update. I did read one article about shutting down plex and then restart. That did not work. I have a short video but found I can’t upload it.

This is a known issue which will be fixed with version 2025.16 of the mobile apps.  
If you’re on Android you can sideload the version as a preview / test build.
