It’s worth trying a complete uninstall of Plex for Mac. 1. Drag the app from /Applications to your Trash. 2. Drag the following folders and files to your trash - `~/Library/Application Support/Plex` - `~/Library/Caches/Plex` - `~/Library/Caches/tv.plex.desktop` - `~/Library/Preferences/tv.plex.desktop.plist` - `~/Library/Preferences/tv.plex.Plex.plist` 3. Empty your trash 4. Restart the Mac 5. Install Plex for Mac It work? ---
