Server Version#: 1.43.0.10492
Player Version#: 4.159.0 (plex web)
Long story short, I’ve got a flat network (single /24). there’s no vlans, no VPNs, no firewalls involved
the server is connected via ethernet
the client is also connected via ethernet, both to the same switch (an unmanaged gigabit switch)
Every other device in the house works just fine
Same login for server (win11) and the client (a surface pro 8, win11)
Web client, or the official desktop client I see the exact same issue
Long story short, when I connect to plex (app.plex.tv) via the browser, the loads up my server, but all of the thumbnails are empty, and it most times, it will NOT load the video file
If I open plex on my phone, ps4, ps5, or anyone else’s phone/tablet/pc everything works just fine
most times, if I stop and re-start plex on the server, this will get things working again for the night. I can now play as many videos as I want, until the next time I re-start my surface pro
I can NOT find any logical reason for this behaviour. all other networking things seem to be working fine
I can RDP from the surface to the server, np, and heck, i can even watch plex from the server over RDP
and like i said, even while the surface is having issues, every other device is having no issues at all
restarting the server seems to be the only thing that temp resolves this, but I’m not sure WHY
any thoughts?
