I have been using PLEX for several years but now the server will not access my libraries because of missing .dll files. (four of them) I have tried reinstalling PLEX server several times without success. Can you help restore these files: icuuc69.dll icuin69.dll AVCODEC-59.dll and AVFORMAAT-59.dll

Husband and I have been trying to watch the film Blessed with James nesbitt on Plex. However every time we load it we get a American film documentary about a pastor preaching about the lord. This is not the film we wanted what’s gone wrong please

I use Plex for audiobooks. I just got a new iPhone 13 with updated iOS. The app keeps seeming to close while playing in background at seemingly random intervals. It usually save my space but requires I open back up the app and let it load. Normally annoying, problematic while driving since I can’t be fiddling with it.

I had to perform a factory reset on my Android TV Box (MBOX T95 4GB Ram, 32GB Rom) running on Android 10.1.X19, security patch December 5, 2019 - since then I have only installed the latest Plex app, and it is unstable and the app keeps crashing. I login to my plex account, and then I get a message on-screen asking if I want to switch to TV Mode rather than Mobile Mode. Whether I select TV, Mobile or Remind me Later, the app then crashes and it goes back to the App screen in Android. Please advise.
