You tried uninstalling/reinstalling plex?

Also are you using the normal 32400 port for the plex interface?

Yes, I have tried shutting down services. DLNA, and Antivirus were recently shut down to test. The problem still remains. I have also accomplished the uninstall and reinstall of plex (even used different versions) - The problem remains that if you use Plex with my RN, those issues occur. I appreciate all of the feedback/assistance.

    Did you try starting with a small library of files that are known to be good and are properly tagged?
