My video won't stop buffering

If you're experiencing constant buffering, there are two common solutions:

1. Lower Your Streaming Quality

Your internet connection might need a lower quality setting:

  • Your internet speed might not support maximum resolution streaming
  • Try reducing the quality to 1080p or 720p
  • See the Changing Plex streaming quality page for detailed instructions on changing the streaming quality for different devices

2. Check Your Subtitles

Subtitle processing can cause buffering:

  • Plex can sometimes struggle with subtitle processing
  • If you have subtitles enabled, try disabling them temporarily
  • This often resolves buffering issues immediately
