Samsung Tizen no longer connecting to media server (LAN)

Plex Players Smart TVs
1

Server Version#: 1.18.0.1944
Player Version#: 4.5.1 Plex for Samsung (tizen 4.0)

It has been a while since i last tried to use Plex on my Samsung Q7FN (2018) but to my displeasure today it stopped working, shows Plex server Unavailable.
Both server and TV are cabled directly to my router, same subnet and of course it was working fine before.
I already tried all the steps in the FAQ article, no success.

What i can see from the server console are these errors:

NetworkServiceBrowser: Parsing SSDP schema for http://192.168.2.100:7678/nservice/
HTTP requesting GET http://192.168.2.100:7678/nservice/
Error issuing curl_easy_perform(handle): 7
HTTP error requesting GET http://192.168.2.100:7678/nservice/ (0, No error) (Failed to connect to 192.168.2.100 port 7678: Bad access)
SSDP: Error parsing device schema for http://192.168.2.100:7678/nservice/

192.168.2.100 is the TV. This section shows “nservice”, other times it shows “dmr” or “screen_sharing” but the error messages and codes stay the same.
Even downloading the logs i cannot see any other alarm or error on any other file.

Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling on the TV?

Do you have a manual server defined under advanced settings on the TV?

Tried both just now, but no change, same errors

4

Have you tried to set secure connections to disabled?

I SOLVED IT!
After trying everything (including a full reset of my TV) i noticed that i kept seeing the alarms even when the app was still not installed on my TV. Curious.

Then i wanted to try and rollback the version of Plex MS but instead i ran a Repair installation of the current release and that fixed it! Something went wrong with the Media Server.
