I have just installed plex on Z8, but it does not play the files I get green flashes and multi coloured lines, the files play ok on Tv via app and on amazon fire tv box

Settings in Plex (if in TV Mode)
Scroll down and go to NEW PLAYER - Turn that off

So New Player / Enhanced player is off.

Remote / Streaming and Playback settings change to Maximu/Original.

Try the Titles again.

If your in TV Mode.
Click on your Name / Server name on Main Plex page
Settings
Scroll down and go to NEW PLAYER - Turn that off

So New Player / Enhanced player is off.

Remote / Streaming and Playback settings change to Maximum/Original.

Try the Titles again.

But easily found with bit of navigation.

Basically when i say TV mode, I mean the Plex App is in TV mode (i.e Pin Connect) opposed to Mobile OS mode.

A easy alternative if not.

Install Kodi 18.6.
Install Plex Official Addon from Buiit in Kodi Repo in Video Addons.
Open Plex addon
Pin connect your plex
Settings in the plex addon
Change remote quality from 4mbps to original / maximum.

Then try your plex titles in Kodi Plex Addons.
