Hi,

When I go to the site [Link | Plex](https://www.plex.tv/link/) doesn’t appear a link in order to vinculate my account.

Someone could help me?

Thank you

With the limited info regarding client used, I would guess it’s an old Samsung with the Orca Client?

If so, look here: [Plex.tv/link not generating code on samsung smart tv - #42 by plex\_tyrael\_metaname\_de](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-tv-link-not-generating-code-on-samsung-smart-tv/763431/42)

I just have to comment unrelated to the actual problem but it is VERY rare I run into a word (vinculation) that is used correctly and I have to look it up to find the meaning. Therefore I award you the “sesquipedalian” trophy for today. 😉 😃 🤡

It’s the Samsung TV that will give you the codes to enter

I was not criticizing your English usage. On the contrary I was complementing your English usage.  
I had to look up “vinculation” and it is a good English word and correctly used.  
I, frankly, am quite surprised that you are not a fluent English speaker. I would think that any translation programs would offer simpler words as alternatives.

BTW: Because I thought you were an English speaker I did not explain my word usage: “Sesquipedalian” means “User of big words” and it, generally is used as a complement and that was exactly how I meant it.

Hahaha. Ok I didn’t understand you. The spanish word for link is “vinculación”. Normally, the spanish words ending in “ación” the english traduction is “ation”.

Thanks for explanation 🙂

Most likely this one:

[https://github.com/kadrim/proxy4plex/releases/download/0.3.0/proxy4plex-0.3.0-0-g53b9345-windows-386.exe](https://github.com/kadrim/proxy4plex/releases/download/0.3.0/proxy4plex-0.3.0-0-g53b9345-windows-386.exe)

Also remember to adjust your firewall, since you need to open port 3000  
(For an easy test, temp. disable the firewall)

My Spanish is not very good and I learned, mostly, Mexican Spanish with a smattering of Cuban Spanish.  
I am MUCH better in Japanese or even German.

I looked further, as language is always of interest to me, and I found that the Spanish word in question is “vinculación” and that is so similar to “vinculation” that the word usage becomes even more clear.  
In this case the spellings and the meanings agree but, sometime the same word (Or nearly the same word) can have very different meanings like English “Poison” and French “poisson” where the first means a substance that is bad for you and the second is “Fish”.  
It actually is the similarities that makes it hard for a lot of people to speak and use multiple languages and not the differences.

Working fine, AFAICT

Now follow the instructions for your TV regarding Develop mode, and also strongly suggest followup questions to go into the thread, which post I linked towards, since that’s where the developer of the proxy hangs out

> Server Version#: 1.25.1.5286 Player Version#: 2.012 Hello, On Samsung smarthub app version 2.012 from 2018 found in Samsung’s app store, the plex.tv/link no longer generates a code to link plex account and now I cannot connect my raspberry pi server any more. Do you know if there is a change in the server host or is this just a temporary issue? I also can no longer sign to my account on that app. I tested with Android version, no problem there.

Also…When doing so, please confirm that you enabled developer mode on your TV, and that a new version was installed

Okay, then let’s continue here 😉

What model of Samsung TV do you have?

Edit: maybe get it from `Menu -> Support -> Contact Samsung`
