Playback session switches to buffering after Fire TV / TV goes to sleep while paused

calendar_today August 30, 2026 person @usrplex domain plex

When watching a video with the Plex app on a Fire TV Stick, if I pause the video (after 30min - 1h) and leave it paused until the Fire TV Stick / TV automatically goes into sleep mode, the Plex playback session switches to buffering . The session then remains in this buffering state instead of being properly stopped or closed. Steps to reproduce Start playing a video in the Plex app on a Fire TV Stick.
