Plex playback broken between v1.6 and v1.7

[gzzo]

This has been bugging me for a while and I was finally able to track down a solution. As of v1.7, playback on Plex is broken. Plex works fine in v1.6.

Can confirm. I have the same issue, plex is stuck at loading the video. Works in v1.6 but not in any newer version.

I'm developing v3 but not familiar with Plex; can you provide a reproducer / instructions ?

Unfortunately the reproduction steps require a bit of setup, but happy to provide instructions:

One time setup:

1. Sign up for Plex at https://www.plex.tv/
2. Download Plex Media Server at https://www.plex.tv/downloads/
3. Add some media to the server

Reproduction steps:

1. From Helium, visit app.plex.tv and log in
2. Play the media you added

You'll see that playback never starts. Performing the above on a normal browser window works fine.

Ok, did that, added my movie folder but not network access; picked a movie

• 2001, plays fine? Still in dialog with Apple re: security and layout issues.

@slashlos I tried your v3 version and Plex playback worked fine.

[gzzo]

That's good to hear, @slashlos looking forward to your first Helium v3 release. Leaving this open since it's still applicable in this repo.

Good to hear.

Please understand this version is distinct from the build I’m try to sanction with Apple as per the stores requirements. — /los "I was a teenage net random"
