Server Version#: 1.28.1.6018 (Docker) Player Version#: Plex for Vizio 5.43.1 Yesterday Plex suddenly started showing all playbacks of videos like this: [20220806_080415] Before playing back the video the Plex UI liked fine occupying the whole screen: [20220806_080457] Why are the videos bein…

Another data point Playing these episodes via my PS4 works fine. I hadn’t used my PS4 for a while so it wanted to update the Plex app to 2.04 (IIRC).

Decided to try reset to factory settings and it worked! I wonder how it got messed up…

The problem returned!!! I’m resetting my TV again. This is not good. What could be the problem?
