I’ve started having issues when trying to watch anything on a couple of different devices. On my Nvidia Shield TV, Samsung Smart TV and LG Smart TV, when I use the Plex app, I can sign in and see all my content, but when trying to play it says “Error. An error occurred while attempting to play this video. Please check your connection and try again.” It happens no matter what is playing. When I load the same thing on my Android phone, iPad or a web browser, it works without issue. Everything is exactly the same whether local or remote, or even using a VPN. It does work on the Shield when I cast to it from my phone. My server is running on a PC with Unraid 6.9.2. Everything is up to date. I can get any logs from the devices I have, just not sure how to get them so any help would be appreciated. Server Version#: 1.18.9.2578 ---

The Android apps are rejecting the security certificate from the server for some reason. Users running Plex Media Server versions 1.18.x and 1.19.x are definitely affected. The problem may happen with other Plex Media Server versions (I don’t have a list of all affected releases). The problem is visible in the Android client log: [FFmpeg] [ERROR] [tls @ 0xc35efb… ---

Wow didn’t realise it wasn’t up to date. Turns out lots of things on the server was and when I updated that I was way behind on everything. It looks like its working again on everything. Thanks! ---
