Are you experiencing this with other DLNA clients or only with the LG TV (e.g. VLC)?
Any particular reason why you don’t want to use the native Plex client for this LG TV?

I am experiencing this with all DLNA clients (eg. my PS4 pro). Suddenly one day, the Plex DLNA service stopped appearing on the clients’ Content Sharing/Media Server list.

I am not a Plex Pass member, and I use free basic plex. Since I stream HDR/DV content, I use the DLNA players since they accurately show HDR/DV, whereas my native plex does not.

Any help to resolve the DLNA issue is much appreciated.
