Plex for Google TV not requiring PIN when you open app again after exiting

Plex Players Smart TVs

Server Version#: 4.149.0
Player Version#: Philips Google TV TA5
Issue: PIN not being required when re-opening Plex after closing app by pressing Back all the way to Home screen

Affected platform: Google TV and likely Android TV as well. I’ve tested on my Tizen TV and my Android phone and tablet and this issue does not exist currently.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Plex, choose a profile that requires a PIN
  2. On the remote, press Back button until Home screen is reached
  3. Open Plex again. You will be seeing the same profile as you last left it but without having to enter a PIN

Expected behavior:

  1. When pressing Back at the Plex home screen, Plex should fully close application
  2. When re-opening Plex after being placed in the background (e.g. user pressed Home button or a shortcut button to another app), Plex should request for a PIN if the last-used profile requires one

Current workaround #1:

  1. Go to Settings | Apps
  2. Select Plex and choose Force Stop
2

Do you have the option enabled to automatically sign in? That bypasses the pin except when changing users.
