When using the latest beta from the forum thread, can you please go to the addon settings (close PM4K, long-press ENTER/context menu on PM4K icon -> settings), and play around with the values of: System:

• Plex requests timeout (increase)
• Max retries (increase)
• Server connectivity check timeout (increase)

Also: You're using a fairly old version of PM4K. Please at least update to the latest stable, preferrably to the latest beta. I'd also suggest upgrading to Kodi 21.

From your log I can see that the reachability tests fail and PM4K starts without a server: STARTING WITH SERVER: None

The timeout/retries settings might help you - it seems like the network isn't ready when Kodi starts.

You can also try adjusting "Maximum wait time for network" in Kodi Settings -> Power Saving

Okay, after update to Kodi 21 (Flatpak) and update PM4k and set up some waiting time for network it looks good...

With the update of PM4K, I noticed that playlists behave differently. Previously, for example, when starting an episode in a playlist (like Arrowverse), I would first see an overview. Now the episode starts directly, which isn't too bad. The issue is what happens when I almost finish watching the episode and then stop... I end up on a blank screen ( i see the Series wallpaper). Only another press of ESC brings me back to the playlist. Is this a bug or a feature?

Probably a bug. Please open a new ticket!
