Problem Getting Plex Classic to Play

General Discussions

Plex (server: sunny0ne) working fine

Computer crashed

Recovered computer

Roku and Plex no longer sees sunny0ne. I went through all the steps connecting Plex Classic to Roku

System name in router (LAPTOP-SEVHFERK) somehow became my server in Plex.

Plex played, so I left it as it was. It played for 2 days.

Day 3: Server is sunny0ne and there are no library sections.

I think if I can find server LAPTOP-SEVHFERK I’ll find my library sections.

I have no idea what to do. I don’t even know if this makes sense.

No doesn’t make sense :smile:

Your Plex server (PMS) is running on Windows ? Fire up PlexWeb from any browser and connect to your server via the URL http://server_ip:32400/web

Post back with results.

Curious as to why you would still be using the old and unmaintained Plex Classic app on a roku. Why have you not switched to the real Plex for Roku app?

http://www.server_ip.com:32400/web will not load on my PC. Says the server takes too long to load.

I’m a retiree on fixed income and can’t afford to upgrade my very old TV at this time.

Sorry I was not aware that the Plex for Roku app running on a roku does not work on old TVs

While it is not likely the current issue is the old or new Roku app, the new app does work on older standard def TV’s now. It is different than the Classic app, and takes a while to re-learn. https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1360700/#Comment_1360700
You can try it once the other issues are resolved. Both apps can be installed at the same time.

No www. Also, you need to use https.
