Plex is one of the few media streaming services that enables users to play digital content from one machine to another. Over the years, the developers have added several new features to the app.

Users can either opt for the free service that lets them stream content from their personal library or Plex’s paid service and access content from MGM, Lionsgate, and Warner Bros amongst several others.

But lately, issues such as broken fast forward and rewind function and Plex Media server crashing after the v1.26.0.5715 update are preventing many from using the app.

Adding to the woes, Plex users who updated the app to v1.44.0 on their Mac say they are seeing a grey or blank screen and are unable to do anything.

Some have already tried reinstalling the app but that isn’t helping either. Many are confused and wondering if the developers test the app before releasing the update.

Here are some reports from Plex users who are stuck on a grey or blank screen on their Mac after the v1.44.0 update.

While Plex developers are yet to comment on the matter, we came across a workaround that seems to be helping those affected by the problem.

It requires users to uninstall the latest version, installing the v1.34 and overwriting it with v1.43. You can download the required packages here.

When Plex developers fix the blank screen issue on Mac, we will let you know so keep checking this space for further updates.
