Server Version#: 1.15.3.876
Player Version#: 2,012
Unfortunately since the latest upgrade the TV Plex app cannot resume anymore the movies. The player shows how many minutes are watched, but when I click on player it starts from the beggining.
Anybody has the same issue? Any workaround or fix?

The app for your TV hasnât been updated for a long (and wonât be as the volunteer developer of that app is no longer able to maintain it due to health reasons).
Unfortunately, it appears that there is a bug in this app that didnât surface until the recent server updates. See this post for details:
Probably your only option is to downgrade your server version if you can. Alternatively, you can investigate getting a (relatively) cheap streaming device to connect to your TV â Plex apps for those devices are maintained/updated regularly by Plex.
So basically, if you have a 2015 Samsung TV or earlier you are stuck with the March PMS until you either buy a new TV or buy additional hardware?
The UX experience of a casting device for most users is far inferior to the integrated smart tv app.
âCasting deviceâ? I meant something like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV boxâŠ
Both are cheaper than buying a new TV though that is an option as well.
Seriousely?! Guys! Listen yourself. You even thinking to buy another thing, just because a bug (which was a feature actually) is fixed? Who knows what bugs on those devices?! And if there is a bug what Plex introduce I can trough it away again?
I have a smart TV where Plex should develop an app, not relay on somebody elseâŠShame.
This is a software and if that issue was not causing any other issues, why they fixed it?! It broke the product.

Youâre using an app that was not developed by nor supported by Plex. There is no one to report the bug to unfortunately.
Yes, downgrading and staying with that version is an option.

No way in downgrading the PMS if itâs linked/connected to a Seedbox.
Thanks! Itb works again
Iâve got the same issue on two older Samsung TVâs.
Too bad that no one can step in and fix the app so a lot of owners of the older Samsung model tvâs can enjoy this handy feature again.
But as long as that is not the case ⊠where can I download the older working 1.15.2.793 version.
I use the resume a lot on my tvâs and therefor will downgrade my server version.
Never mind. Found it myself.
TV version of Plex workung again.

How do you downgrade? I downloaded the installer, but it says that it cannot be installed because there is a newer version already installed.
How do you downgrade the version of Plex server? The feature worked properly and now it doesnât. I do not want to add additional hardware to my TV as all the ports are used! I would rather change away from plex and ask for a refund on my lifetime membership!
Hearing that the bug wonât be patched is a sad state of affairs, especially since Iâve been a lifetime member for the past several years (early 2014 i think).
Iâm guessing the developer youâre talking about is Orca? I remember a lot of his early work getting the samsung app into âinternet@TVâ in the early smart TVs. Hope you get well soon mate if youâre out there!

Remove the currently installed version.
All settings will not be removed.
Install the older version.
And youâve got a working version again.
OK, where can I get the old version of plex server (for windows) from?
Take a look into your Plex data folder
https://support.plex.tv/articles/202915258-where-is-the-plex-media-server-data-directory-located/
There is a subfolder named âUpdatesâ in there.
Donât use âuninstallerâ software or âcleanerâ software to do the uninstallation!

Thanks! thatâs helped a lot.
So, just to be clear, if I uninstall Plex, then re-install the older version, will my library data still be intact?
