Plex Media Server- Constantly Buffering Movies for 4k movies.

javiergame4 · Jul 24, 2018

Was just on plex forums and they are stating they are waiting from MS to fix this bug. It's been months since PLEX is having this issue. Please fix this Microsoft as constantly buffering when playing 4k movies.

Media Player problem (Xbox One) - Error "Try a different folder"..."It took a long time to gather all your media for playback." "Please try a different folder."

Hi there,

same Problem. Qnap NAS with Plex Media Server.

First i changed to TWONKY Media Server - then my Xbox was unable to play my Movies at all!

So i setup Plex again, changed to wired Network - same problem.

The only workaround is to sort by year (or whatever) so that only a few movies were displayed, then playing works fine.

Media Player App - "You don't have access to this location"

I have a Plex Media Server on my PC which hosts Movies and TV shows, I access the over my network with the Xbox One Media Player app (not the Plex app).

Movies are on drive d: and TV Shows are on drive e:

This has worked flawlessly for the last year when yesterday it movies stopped working. TV shows still work fine.

I can still run the movies just fine from the PC but when I to Xbox One Media Player app > Plex Media Server > Video > Movies > All movies; I get the error message:

"No access to this location. Before you can play items in this location, you must first have permission to access it"

TV shows work as normal, only movies are effected.

Movies work just fine when playing them on the PC itself.

Currently running NXOE, but it was working fine a few days ago.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Yeah. Bought an XB1X primarily to play 4K HDR PLEX content. Getting with PLEX to get this fixed would be really nice.

I've been having the same problem, using Plex as my media server. I only have about 200 movies in my main 'Movies' folder. Nothing will play when selecting a movie from the full list. However, if I select a movie by decade, it will start playing and I will
not get an error message. It's a mildly annoying workaround, but so far it's consistently working for me.

Plex Media server has a Mac version, and works great for me (Even though I am using the windows version of the program. This sets up a simple DNLA server without needing Windows Media Player. Plus it will create a nice and handy view for your digital movies
including; Movie Poster, Actors, Directors, Rating, etc.

You don't need to use the Plex App on the Xbox one either, just use the Media Player app. The only caveat, is you can't use subtitles, doesn't matter if it's a separate .SRT file, or an .MKV file with subtitles encased in it.

Giving your suggestion a shot Miss Diggz... same exact thing happened here this week as well...

Seems to me like it was related to a Plex Server update that I downloaded Monday or Tuesday. Can see my Plex Media Library through our 360 but get the same message when trying to play anything (movie/tv/etc...)

Removed Plex from the 360 and just cleared the cache x3 and redownloading/installing Plex... will post up results in a few...
