Steps to fix plex tv link when it isn’t working

You can fix some of the above-mentioned problems using the following methods:

Update your Plex Media Server

If you are running an outdated version of the PMS, update it by going to the download page. When updating the server, first choose your platform (Windows, Linux, Seagate, etc.) so that you can get the latest version. Also, ensure you are using the latest version of your TV or mobile app.

Sign out from your Plex account

If your app is unable to connect to the Plex server, chances are you have already signed into the PMS using your Plex account. It could also mean that your application is signed in and connected to your account. Here is what you can do to fix the problem:

• Sign out of your Plex account in both the PMS and app
• Log in to your Plex account in the Plex Media Server
• Sign in to your account in the Plex app or through plex.tv/link sign in
• If you can’t connect to the Plex server, it is useful that you ensure the PMS is actively running.

Connect your devices to the same IP range

Some people encounter the error message – “Plex unable to connect to the content server.” In most cases, the problem could be both your PMS and app are not on the same local network. Your server and the application must be on the same subnet of the network to link correctly.

Connect your app to your Plex account

If you link Plex to TV and the service cannot find the server, it could be you have not connected your player app to your Plex account. Here is what you should do if Plex can’t find the server.

• Open the app on your TV
• Select Sign In
• A four-character Plex activation code will display on your screen
• Go to plex.tv/link on your desktop browser
• If you do not know where to enter Plex code, look for the space bar that says CODE
• Hit Submit
• Once you submit, your player app will refresh. That will complete the step for linking it to your account.
