Playback keeps restarting, track not buffering enough

Issue description:

Hi there, I’m currently traveling on an Amtrak train, mobile connections change often from 5G to 5Ge to lte often. I’m not sure if that has anything to do with this issue, but my tracks keep restarting from the beginning when they aren’t fully cached. They also aren’t fully caching for some reason while playing, the buffer line only goes a little into the track, even when the connection is good and doesn’t change.

I’m wondering what else I need to adjust to avoid this? Is there a way to pre buffer/cache the next 5 songs or something like that?

Not throwing this in for anything other than the troubleshooting information, but plexamp had zero issues on my 48 hour train ride last week.

I’d prefer to use this awesome app so figured I’d ask for help. Thanks in advance!

You need to enable playback cache in the settings to actually have cache, the bar you see is just the in memory cache size.

Restart to start is a side effect of Plex transcoding and session handling.

thank you so much! I adjusted that and while i did have the same thing happen shortly after, i havent experienced it again all day today. I really appreciate the help and the awesome app. I cant figure out how to pay for this now for some reason, but ill keep poking around.

Yes the option is not applied to the current media and depending on your position the next one as they are already prepared so it’s not worth to stop the playback for that change.

Thanks again! I looked around in the app and just cant find a place to pay for the app, could you hold my hand a little and point me in the right direction please?

In the settings page at the top.

Yeah I figured it would be there, I must be blind or something.

You already paid or are using a pirated version :slight_smile:

Well it’s not pirated, so i must’ve paid last time i tried it out :slight_smile: thanks so much again for everything. Have a lovely day.
