Since yesterday my Plex apps in Apple Tv and Ipad stop working with my cloud HOME server (always said server Disconnected on Plex App) but works fine in my iPhone and my LG Tv. I tried all things like restar my modem, My Cloud Home, reinstall apps and nothing fixed my problem. What can i do?

Similar issue for me as well. I use a couple of old ipads to watch Plex and both show my server as offline, but both only started this behavior in the the last couple weeks. Hopefully it is just a bug that will be fixed with the next update.

The only way I could solve it was by changing the security settings of network connections and selecting disabled in the plex control panel, only then I could see plex again on my ipad and my apple tv. I think it’s not the safest thing but it was the only way to fix it. I hope this helps you

I believe he is referring to this location/setting. However, this didn’t work for me. Hopefully you will have better luck!

That’s what I mean. Additionally what I did was go to the authorized devices tab and delete my ipad and my apple tv and re-sign myself on the devices. I hope this will work for you.

Hey, so I just did that Network security disabled thing above, at first it didn’t do anything so I signed out of the app and signed back in and now it works

So I went back to the settings and changed it back from disabled to preferred and the app was working a bit… but now it has stopped.

So I guess for now it needs to be disabled or just use Infuse until Plex updates for OS15 as infuse is working

The same thing happened to me, hopefully they will solve it soon.
