Came here to report the same problem. Blue screen with sound. M3 Macbook Air

I have the same problem on my MacBook Pro 14" with M1 Pro running macOS 15.2 and Plex desktop 1.107.1.293-575aed08. I get sound and a blue screen, sometimes black screen and SRT subtitles misplaced in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Same here. MacBook Air m1. Bluescreen when playing hdr content. Works when i revert plex player to previous version.

I’m having the same issue too, M4 Pro MacBook Pro.

For me happens the same. Intel mac with AMD gpu, and blue screen.

Blue Screen too here on MacBook M2 with latest Plex for MacOS
