I have confirmed that my laptop and my tv are on the same wireless network. But now I’m getting the oh-so-helpful “unexpected playback problem” error and I cannot get any of my movies to play. I have the media server set up on my Macbook Pro and other than one minor hiccup about a month ago (that was fixed by rebooting my wireless router), I have been able to watch Plex on my brand new Samsung TV without issue. Since the issue only affects those on a Smart TV, it looks like the recent update changed something that is causing the problem. This has angered many with some wondering why the error pops up only on Smart TVs and does not affect all devices. It looks like the Plex app is working just fine if users try to play the movie on their phone or some other device. People say they have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the appl on their Smart TVs but it doesn’t seem to help either.

According to reports, some are getting the “unexpected playback problem” error when trying to play any content. However, this time the issue is pretty serious with many Plex users saying that the app is not working on their Smart TVs. Nonetheless, some users are experiencing a new issue with the Plex app that is rendering it unusable. Recently, some Plex users on NVIDIA Shield-based devices reported that they were having playback issues with random errors and 4K lag. Having said that, its cross-platform compatibility results in some and issues that are sometimes hard to fix. It offers 130 channels and more than 20,000 movies for free. The best thing about Plex is its ease of access and availability on multiple platforms. It is a global streaming media service that allows users to stream content either from their local devices or use other services. If you are subscribed to a lot of streaming services and consume a lot of digital content, one of the hardest things to do is manage your collection.
