I’m having a problen starting plex I get a message on the screen that says “Plex is taking a long time to start” and then below “Plex may continue to load, but if you think something is wrong, you can restart the app (optionally clearing settings)”. I have tried both options, turned of the tv and reinstalled the app. I see fro other forums from 2022 the same problem but there was some update, however I’m not giving the opinion to update the app. I’m using the app on Samsung tv.

Any suggestions?

Just here to say I’m having the same issue. TV says latest version 5.55.2 is installed. I know plex has had issues with Tizen devices in the past (and currently actually.) I hope its a bug that will be fixed soon
