Samsung TV - UI Slowdown + ~1/2 video work as of ~a week ago. app or server?

I have been hosting plex on my computer and connecting my TV locally. Its been working great for months, but as of about a week ago its like the app slowed significantly.

for example:

  • browsing through a show, the UI will freeze for a few seconds while the pictures of each episode show up.
  • on the home screen 4-5 tiles will not populate some times. if i leave and go back in the problem is fixed.
  • struggling to play some content, most things seem to be playing just fine but i have noticed a good percentage of items just result in the spinning progress circle to no end.

What i have tried:

  • I have a remote user who is not reporting any of the same issues
  • I tried running plex from an old Kodi instance I had and it seems to be working just fine.
  • I tried creating a new account, no change to performance.
  • I performed a factory reset of my TV and it made no difference
  • Browsing and watching from the computer is perfect.

Any ideas on where i should look next?

Unfortunately I don’t have any advice, but I came here to say I’m having the exact same issue. I was hoping your thread might have some answers but this seems to have started out of nowhere.

What version of the App and Media server are you running?
