Hi folks!
I have my Plex account and server. I have linked my android apps and PS4 apps no problem, all working great.
I got my friend to create a Plex account and then I sent him an invite so he is now in my friends list. All good so far.
I am not wanting to share everything on my server with him so have selected specific things to share. So how do I set him up so he can access his little restricted area via PS4?
When he logs on to the ps4 app and got the 4 digit passcode i entered it in my server as supposed to but then it gives him my login so presumably if he enters my 4 digit code its as good as signing myself in and he has access to everything.
Do i need to purchase plex pass and set him up as a user or how would this work?
Yes, you have to purchase the PlexPass. Anyway, you can enjoy of additional features
@robschach - I don’t have a Playstation, but I share with a couple of people who do. You shouldn’t need a plex pass to steam to your friend. The Plex server is free, and the Playstation app is free.
I know for a fact I never did anything on my end - that is, I didn’t enter the 4 digit pass code on my server. They logged into plex with their user name on their computer and playstation, retrieved the 4 digit passcode, entered that on the PS4, and everything worked without any intervention from me. In fact, I didn’t even know they had PS4’s until they told me they were using it to watch Plex.
My friends only get the libraries I share with them, and are logged in as themselves (not me.) I would try going thru the initial set up process again, and use only his plex account info in all steps. You shouldn’t need to do anything, except invite him as a friend (which you already have done)
