LG TV cannot see local Plex Server on wired LAN

[qhpm4]

Server Version#: 1.42.2.10156
Player Version#: 5.93.2

Hi,

I’m unable to see the Plex Media Server on my local network from a new LG TV running the latest WebOS when using a wired LAN connection on the TV. If I disconnect the LAN cable and use WiFi instead, I’m able to see the Plex server. I don’t have any firewall rules, or anything as such. The Plex Media Server logs show the initial OPTIONS and GET requests coming from the Plex client on the LG TV but it subsequently fails with a Didn’t receive a request from 192.168.0.157:36856: End of file error and the client does not see the server, and shows an error on the TV.

I would prefer to use it via wired LAN because the WiFi connection is not that stable on the TV, but unfortunately Plex does not work then. All other apps, including LG Channels, Paramount, Prime, etc. all work even with the wired LAN connection. Only Plex does not, it only works when I use the WiFi.

I have attached the debug logs from the Plex Media Server running on my Mac, showing the relevant details. Let me know if you need more logs.

Thanks.

Have you tried pinging the TV FROM the server when TV is using ONLY the cable?

Make sure your settings are the same, allowing your Server LAN IP.

Your Server:

It can also be advisable if your router allows to Reserve your ServerLAN IP address for your Ethernet. Restart your Router, Server and TV.
