Roku Episode Playback Randomly Stops

Server Version#: 1.41.8.9834
Player Version#: Old and New Experience

Experiencing an issue lately where Roku playback randomly stops mid episode for a TV Show and queues up the next episode to be played as if it were over. I downloaded logs where this happened twice in the span of 10 minutes.

This has happened to me several times in the last week or two. Normally it happens late at night when I’m in bed, but I happened to catch it today so I could run down and get logs.

This happens on both the old and new experience apps, which suggests its either the device itself, my network, or PMS? Logs attached.

Another random playback drop. Also, happened earlier today with a movie as well, so it’s not just TV episodes.

is it retuning to dashboard when the playback stops ?

It brings up the next episode with the countdown, and if left untouched it will roll into that episode. The prior episode does not receive a completed or watched status. I can resume it fairly easily, but it is annoying.

The movie returned to the page for the movie itself which was easily resumed.

are u enabling repeat in video player itself? u might also have to go in the roku plex settings and set passout protection to never stop its in player experience

No repeat, and passout protection would let it play to the end. This has happened on more than one Roku, so my assumption is that its not an individual player setting.

Three times during playback of a Penny Dreadful episode using the old Roku app.

It appears this issue may be related to another issue ive been having. Since i removed my music library and stopped the Sonic Analysis looping, this issue appears to not be an issue.

I think I’m going to call this issue Resolved as it appears removing my Music Library to prevent a recurring Sonic Analysis Loop has solved just about every other Plex issue I’ve had for months.
