Plex Players

Server Version#:1.41.8.9834
Player Version#:

Last year, had the all-in-one Plex app installed on my Pixel 8 phone. Everything worked well. As soon as that updated, and I couldn’t see photos any longer, had to install Plex Photos. Ever since doing so, I’ve not been able to play my phone videos on it. They take forever to load and then only play a couple seconds before buffering. Basically, those videos are now unwatchable.

I tried to side load the Plex app from last year back onto my phone but couldn’t on Android 16. So.. earlier today, tried messing with server video settings to see if I could get these videos to play acceptably. No dice. Does anyone have any suggestions?
