To Use the new version with SammyWidgets try this:

  • Extract de Plex folder from the zip
  • Then create a new zip file with all the contents of the Plex folder inside the root
    (so not in a folder like it is now)
  • Use the new zip with SammyWidgets, see if that works.

For the USB stick option:

  • Format a USB drive with the FAT32 format
  • Unzip the contents of the download into the root of the drive.
  • You should now have a Plex folder in the root.
  • Insert the USB into you Samsung device (try a different port if it doesn’t see the stick)
  • Cancel the popup that might show up.
  • You should now have a new User icon in your SmartHub
  • Select it and start it up like you would normally.
  • The USB needs to stay connected when you use Plex.

Please note that this version does not work on very old models that previously had v 1.x of the app, they are just not compatible. This also does not work on newer Tizen models.
