Well, this has been a disaster, been changing PLEX clients on devices all morning plex/tv/link process needed for streaming devices is a DISASTER. REFRESH CODES often expire immediately, if not in a few seconds. I’ve had many devices require 6+ attempts and now I have one - probably with slowest wifi connect that just wont come online even though the lweb page shows account linked.
I’m facing the exact issue with my PS5. The account page says it’s linked but the PS5 client says code expired. Grr.
I’m having the same problem.
I just tried again and it went through on the first attempt.
Took me at least 15 times on my Google TV W/ Chromecast. On a couple of devices, the streamed client didn’t refresh, but I manually restarted it and the link worked as the client started normally. I have dozens of clients all over the place… the way the Client to Server security is constructed certainly discourages password changing. I think I recall there is a multi factor security feature, I guess I will see how bad a deal that would be during normal use of PLEX. FYI - I’m a retired Cyber Security Exec, so I take this stuff seriously, but also was very sensitive to the pain caused by security barriers I put in place!!!
