The best Plex alternatives should also be able to stream video and information services. Streaming your own media content on a TV should be a standard feature, which is why most media center interfaces are also designed to be used with smart TVs. Plex alternatives (as well as Plex itself) should not just allow playback on the original device, but should also be able to play through external devices. The user interface should make it easy for you to find and play back the content you want.

Seems like this update reset the app settings.The primary function of a media center is to organize all media files (audio, video, and image) on the selected computer system in a clearly arranged format. I went to the App Store and checked when the last update of the Plex app happened. Then I suddenly remembered that I once removed these both checkmarks and now they were there again! I unchecked both and all my movies were playable again.

After flicking through the various options in the Android app I saw the following settings: Of course reinstalling didn’t help and it did not work by itself either. I decided to postpone this and went back to the living room, see if reinstalling the Android app (again) would work or if any magic happened in the meantime that would make the movies work again. But this would have meant reindexing my whole media collection which would probably last some hours. This sounded exactly like the problem I was having! But checking at the server showed that there was plenty of temp-space available!Īt this point, I was already searching for the error for more than an hour and thought about giving up and reinstalling the server-side of Plex. In the settings, you can point the temp transcode folder to a drive with more space (I pointed mine to a new share on my NAS) and everything should be fine again. It’s a check that was just added a couple of updates ago. It’s because you don’t have enough temp space to transcode the entire file. It seemed to suggest that my temporary file space was not big enough:
The files are h264 MKVs at about 15-20 GBs

Installed Plex on my 2011 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.11.3 and TV Shows play fine, those are around 1.5 GBs, but the two movies I’ve tried don’t play at all. They were and I couldn’t remember that I updated the software recently.Īfter some more searching I found this thread on reddit: One of the first things people said was to make sure that I had up-to-date versions of the Plex media server and the Android app. So I began searching for clues on the internet. Trying other movies I noticed that no movies at all were playing!

Some minutes had already passed and before letting this evening go to waste and possibly anger my girlfriend, I decided to instead watch the still working tv show with her.įast forward the next day, the movie was still not playing. So I tried to run something else and noticed, that the shows apparently seemed to work! But I quickly dismissed this idea because I knew that this movie played fine the first time I did a test run with it. My first thought was that the movie was somehow corrupt or has some audio or video codecs that aren’t supported. I started to think about what the problem could be. But that did not help, the movie still didn’t play. I knew, if I didn’t fix this right now, the evening would be ruined! Instead, this really helpful error message appeared on the tv screen: But one evening when my girlfriend and I wanted to watch a movie, it suddenly didn’t want to start. the Android app running on my Android TV box, connected to my tv in the living room.the Plex Media Server running on my server.I use Plex to manage and view all my movies, tv shows and music located at my personal home storage system.
