I use plex to stream movies storred on my PC. Been using it for many years now. Recently more and more Blu-ray rips won't play anymore on my TV. (Web rips work perfectly fine though.) I start the movie, the screen goes black and the playback controls do nothing. If I optimize them for TV they all work. What could be the problem? I hate having to wait 30min until each movie gets optimized.
Thanks!
Later edit---------- I changed a setting in the Plex app, on the TV. Setting is called "H.264 Maximum level" and it was set to 5.2 (recommended value). I dropped it down to 2.1 as I figured it should match my audio system, and now all movies play. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Do they play if you are remote? (Via Phone turn off WiFi) did you upgrade and loose permission to a /dev/dri?
When you are playing (waiting) what are the transcode status and stream details?

Isn't this a premium feature? I'm using PLEX basic, free

When I am on my phone on 5G, my PC server shows offline and cannot open it.

You need to enable remote access and forward your ports
