I run PLEX on my TV. Not very often, that’s true, and never without huge problems. This time the problem is new. I can’t connect to the PLEX server. When I try I get this message: »Server is reachable, but returned ›Access denied‹. Connect with your Plex account that is the owner of this server, or turn ›Require authentication in local networks‹ off in it’ Media Manager.«
I don’t understand what this means. How can I connect with my PLEX account? Where is »Require authentication…«? Where can I turn it off? I can’t find it, and the webpage which should explain this doesn’t explain it. Can anybody help?
Plex Media Server 1.1.3 is now available for everyone.
IMPORTANT: With the security changes in version 1.1.0, if your Plex Media Server is signed in to a plex.tv account, then all of the apps you use must also be signed-in. If you use older apps that cannot authenticate (e.g. LG’s MediaLink or SmartShare apps), you can add the IP address of the device to the following advanced preference: Settings > Server > Network > List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth. (We strongly encourage apps to be signed in for improved security and enhanced functionality.)
