This has been asked before but it has either not been addressed or the answer is to ignore the errors. The problem is I have tons of them. They look like this:

```

In my case this happens a lot because we have several Amazon Fire TV and Amazon Echo devices.

Just ignoring them is a poor answer because they are a lot and they make reading the logs difficult. Plex should implement a way to disable them. The worse is that they are displayed with the keyword ERROR so it makes annoying to search for actual errors.
