I do feel like quite the broken record about Plex and the shield lately.
I had the exact same problem that @das_shrek mentions in his post as soon as I was forced onto the “new player” (sigh, AGAIN, despite repeatedly disabling it in settings UI (what does that word mean if it doesn’t stay “set”?)) from a not-atypical Android play store update.
Here’s a screenshot for you:
I am not seeing any issues because I’ve reverted to the old player, but thanks!
I’m a longtime plex user. There’s nothing special about my current setup. It’s a Plex server running on debian linux and an nvidia shield (1st generation). Everything has been working for years until the new UI and the new player and since then everything has gone downhill.
I guess I’ll just have to hold on to an old copy of my server and client to keep using the old player.
I realize people are change averse but I usually welcome it if it doesn’t make me do extra work. Plex’s recent changes make me do extra work. Change is usually good. Recent Plex changes are not.
Anyways, won’t be providing logs until I’m literally forced, kicking and screaming, onto the new player and my setup no longer works properly. Until that day…
