I paid $4.99 for the PS4 app but cancelled two days ago so I have about 25 days left. Once this WORKS, I will gladly pay for a full 1 year membership.
I simply cannot use the PS4 plex app now since I have to enter a PIN that is randomly generated on my PS4 every time I launch the PS4 app *into* my server in the other wing of the house. That server is headless so I had to actaully plug in a mouse / keyboard / monitor just to put in this PIN code. =(
Once I do enter the pin I can browse sever using plex on PS4 and play back movies etc, but as soon as I log out, or power off PS4, or relaunch PS4, a whole new pin is generated when I launch plex PS4 app and then and I have to walk all the way to server and do this again. The server is headless so to fire up the monitor and put in a key and mouse is insane every time. This makes zero sense and clearly cannot be desired behaviour even for a plex pass in "demo" status.
Are there are checklists / steps I need to verify to see if I can fix this? Clearly others have this problem and perhaps someone has a solution? In my case PMS runs inside of Xpenology acting as my NAS and everything is on a 192.168.1.x network. PS4 is wifi to R7000 router and my NAS box is wired direct to same router. VERY straight forward setup, nothing fancy at all.
Not much help for the rest, since I am unaffected. The good news is that you should be able to go plex.tv/pin on your mobile device. You wouldn't have to go back to the server. Is your server connected to Plex.TV?
