Please help I am a novice at this computer stuff I did manage to load plex put my name user name password all of this but I cannot get into anywhere to put my 4 digit code to get it to recognize my server or whatever of that is. Sorry I am definitely not a computer whiz.
not sure which 4 digit code you are taking about. If you have your own server running you need to sign into that server there is no code to do that. If you server is running on your computer then going to app.plex.tv and signing in should then recognize your server on your local network and ask you to claim it.
If your friend was sharing their server with you, then you need to ask them to share it again.
he is talking about the 4 digit code for plex link.
ok thx. @roaddogsweeney50_gmail_com that code has nothing to do with tying your server to your account. It only signs the player app into your account.
What happens when you launch Plex on your TV? Do you see the activation screen with the 4 digit code? You might see a “Welcome to Plex” type screen displayed first, with a “click here to login” button/box/etc.
If you see the activation screen, using a desktop/laptop, go to https://www.plex.tv/link/, sign in to your account, and enter the code. This should authorize the Plex app your TV.
If you do not see the activation screen, please describe what is displayed. If possible, take a picture & attach to your reply.
can I make my own sever.or get it .
it say can’t find server.
Again thank you guys for even talking back to me I know I’m not a computer geek I know very little about programs.

A basic quick start is here with links to more detailed info https://support.plex.tv/articles/200264746-quick-start-step-by-step-guides/
Ot be clear we are not a content provider like Netflix. We don’t provide movies, TV and such. The server streams your own media files (video, music photos) from your computer to our various player apps. If your friend set you up with sharing their server that has movies Tv on it then you should talk to them about sharing it again
