I’m getting Plex playback error. There was an unexpected error during playback on Smart TV. Occurs after 20-30 minutes of any movie playing.
My Plex server has Ethernet connection to a router.
Smart TV is connected via Ethernet to Wireless Mesh router.
This is part of the PMS log when the error occurred:

Thanks for your assistance.
I turned On “Log to Server” on Smart TV and grabbed the new logs.

but now there is much more information from the Smart TV player in the log entries below.
and it also repeated at Jun 30, 2021 13:43 timestamp.

So, I solved my problem by placing the Plex server and NAS on the same network router.
Before that, they were connected via a mesh Wi-Fi system.
And I guess even short network issues were causing these errors.
Since moving the devices to the same router (5 weeks ago) and connecting them over Ethernet, I haven’t noticed this unexpected error during playback.
