Plex only working on my LG TV and iPhones not samsung tvs

This issue has been driving me insane i can only get it to work on one tv in my house, i have tested if the home plugs around the house seem to be the issue, but still the same when on the wireless.

Also the same unexpected error on the PS5 as well, i cant understand why it would only work on one LG tv?

Any help would be apricated.

Not sure about the PS5.

Can you login to your Plex account on the TV and access the server, or is the problem with playing media?

If you are having trouble accessing the Plex server:

If your Samsung runs Tizen, you may need to adjust both server and TV app settings to allow insecure communications.

See: Important information about Plex for smart TVs after September 30, 2021

If your Samsung is an older model, see Old Samsung TV no link codes .

Basically, the TV too old. The article lists a work-around. However, you may be better served by using a streaming device such as Roku, Amazon, etc.

Hi there, I have adjusted the settings many times still nothing you can access the server on everything it just doesn’t play anything on them same with the ps5.

Seems strange that it only works on on lg tv and not the ps5 my guess is this would do the same on a fire stick

What is the Samsung model number?
What Plex client version is installed? You can find this in the list of Authorized Devices.

I’ve a FireStick 4K and 4K Max. Both work quite well as a Plex client.

Should still work after changing the secure connection setting though shouldn’t it, the tv is a little older but with the setting should be fine, may try a fire stick and hope for the best

It depends.

Read the “Old Samsung…” article linked above.

If your TV falls in that category then changing secure communication settings is not enough.
