I’m getting the same error after updating the latest version of PMS on Windows. None of my media plays from any device.

Also my library scans have stopped since the update. I have them set to run every 30 minutes but none have kicked off automatically and will not when done manually.

I ended up rolling back to 1.9.3.4290-9798172d4. Make sure you disable auto updates if you have them enabled. [https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/290924/howto-download-previous-plex-version](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/290924/howto-download-previous-plex-version)

After a few days I’m back to the same problem. I wonder if the update has corrupted something since now the previous version is doing the same thing. Nothing will play on any client although it reads all of my libraries just fine.
