"There was an unexpected error during playback" on all media (MacOS v1.87.2.87-87488d5a)

This just started affecting me today. I’m on Plex For Mac on MacOS.

I’m not adding/deleting any media, just happens randomly and very frequently.

Version 1.87.2.87-87488d5a

Version 1.40.0.7998

Edit: It looks like the suggest workaround of disabling auto-sync works so far.

  • Hit the wrench button on top right (Settings)
  • Go to your server settings > Library
  • Uncheck the “Scan my library automatically”
  • Scroll to the bottom and hit “Save”.

I presume you may also need to disable the other scans depending how often you edit/update your media files etc..
