Can't get Plex to Work on Xbox One, any help appreciated

Plex Players Gaming Consoles

Hi folks.

 

I've been running Plex on my mac mini hooked up to the tv for years successfully but would really love to have it on the Xbox one.

 

So I downloaded the Plex app from the Xbox store.

I entered the pin into the app as instructed.

It moaned I didn't have the right server version.

I tried deleting the app and re-installing presuming it would download the latest version.

Same error.

I googled the server version error.

Found some posts on this forum that  told me to download to the xbox from a webpage on this site for plex pass download users only

I purchased a plex pass as requested.

I go to the page it tells me to download the correct version from and now I can see plex pass downloads..

 

https://plex.tv/downloads?channel=plexpass

Then I clicked on 

Plex for smart TVs, game consoles, and streaming devices

 

But there's nothing to actually download anything?

 

I realize I'm not the worlds greatest techie but surely this could have been made simpler.?

 

Can anybody give me the "for dummies" method or guide to make this work?

 

Thanks in advance.

It's the server you need to download.

under Plex Media Server, select computer, then mac, then download.

Thanks Plex Star, and I KNOW I come across an idiot here and it's 99% likely it's the Mac only,  but just to be 100% sure, are you saying I download the server to my Mac or to the Xbox , ie does the Xbox need the server on it as well or does the Xbox just talk to my Mac mini?

Also , do I uninstall the current "non plex pass" version of the plex server from my mac first and then install or does it just overwrite?

server goes on your mac

no need to uninstall existing version

xbox is a client
