The last two beta releases (and one of the public releases) have again broken any locally synced media. If I connect to my server, I see the little arrow in the corner for my synced content but if I play the media that I think is synced, it does not attempt to use my locally synced media and instead begins to consume my mobile data. Being on Project Fi, this situation leaves my very frustrated!! This happens every few months with the betas and the only fix has been to attempt to resync my media. Everyone knows how hit or miss that is considering the sync thread has piles of complaints in the main Android forums section. To compound the problem, I cannot connect to my Plex server while at work (on our “general use” wifi) so I’m basically SOL. Please stop the madness!!
Me too :-/
+1 me too!
Add me to the list, I think the issue started to appear when the new exoplayer was forced as standard player.
@johnny15 Have in mind that we are using a beta here, so the main purpose it testing (and somehow to get new features some days before everyone else ^^)

I do understand we are on a beta. As I mentioned, this seems to happen every few beta releases. I’m simply trying to bring awareness to the issue for Plex and possibly other beta testers that may not have auto-updated.
It would be nice if they would figure out why or give some indication of when/if this is a possibility during these releases. While yes, we are getting features before everyone else, Plex is getting free beta testing so don’t believe we’re not providing a benefit and only reaping rewards of being part of a beta. I’m aware of the risks but the street goes both ways.
I’ve also confirmed this has happened on the public releases as well. Pretty unacceptable unless it was known and users were warned.
Seems to me that Sync in general is just screwed up, as I also have my own share of issues with it constantly. Maybe we could get a sticky thread on the beta forum for Sync related issues?
