Apple TV TVOS 16.6 Plex bug

Since all my ATV's have updated to 16.6, Plex is unable to play any Video files over 1080p.


Any video at 4K resolution, has HDR etc will not play, and comes back with insufficient codecs to playback the source file.


However, on the same AppleTV using InFuse Pro I can play any file that will not play on the AppleTV!!


Also to check there was no weird Plex issue I tried the Plex App on my Nvidia Shield TV and all files played ba k perfectly!


Has anyone seen this issue?


Thanks in advance

Same issue here. Good luck getting any help from Plex Support. They are worthless.


BTW, This is totally a Plex issue, not Apple TV. The same movies that will NOT play in my Plex app WILL play in my Channels app.
