Am able to play content from the server within the player and they are on the same network… any ideas?

I have also de-installed the Plex for Windows app incase that was causing a problem but now cant re-install it as its snot in the store any more… so no off line access to my content any more…

Use Plex for Windows, https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-app.

Thanks but I am using the latest plex player from there and that’s where I am getting the error

I now have download working, but it just creates a download file in the browser, there is no check how many versions of unwatched items if trying a series? has that been removed?

Should it not download them to a folder that the Player can see under my user profile (which i know I can change) rather than just downloading a file?

I have Sync in the toolbar but that just shows my mobile phone and pad… (and my laptop before I removed the Plex Windows client (which had sync which worked great… TBH wished i had not uninstalled it or could get it back on…
:frowning: ))

You have the wrong software installed. “Download” like you are expecting it to work, is not working in either the web app (which runs in a web browser), nor does it run in Plex Media Player that way.

The only app which works like you want it, is Plex for Windows. (current version 1.4.1) https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-app

OK, Thanks…can i request to add all unplayed episodes of a TV series as well as 1,3 and 5 in the download menu?
