Select an external player on Plex Android TV.

Greetings!!  
I have Plex installed on a Youin Android TV 10.  
I can play many videos and they work perfectly. But there are some videos that I can’t get to work.  
The solution is to put VLC as an external player (I was able to do it without a problem on a tv-box with android-9)… But it turns out that being Android TV, I can’t find the option to configure an external player in Plex.

I hope you can help me.  
Thanks!!
