I created a second Plex account. On a laptop I want to setup Plex for my mom’s Apple TV but I’ve tried everything to log into the Laptop server. The Apple TV forces me to use my Apple ID which is linked to my main Plex account. I tried linking the laptop from the account page in Plex setting but it always forces me to only link to my main Plex account. Help please.
After you hit sign in after starting the app it should take you to a page which should show you the two options to sign in
-
It displays a 4 character code you enter at the links shown on the screen https://www.plex.tv/link/
-
You click the Sign in with Apple button and it will sign in with your Apple ID on device.
In your case you want to do #1. On your computer or smart phone browser sign into plex.tv your 2nd Plex account and then go to https://www.plex.tv/link/ and enter the code and the 2nd Plex account will be signed into the app on the Apple TV.
it says on the link page who that browser session currently has signed in.
That worked. Just genius thank you. Shouldn’t this be under?
