Better to troubleshoot early on than to run into problems later. You don’t necessarily need to play media with it long term, but you will want to at least set it up so you can test everything works.
Next, you need to install the Plex Media Player onto any device you want to use Plex on. You can spend more time later customizing and configuring it as you want to, and adding channels. DLNA, which is the network protocol we need to play on VLC, is enabled by default so no more action is needed here. That is all you need to do for basic Plex Media Server setup it’s a fairly straightforward process.
You can also watch through a browser or VLC media player, as I will show you. Replacing the tv is a bigger problem.Īny suggestions or additional troubleshooting ideas would be appreciated.The Plex Media Server is mandatory for this to work, but the app is optional. I suspect this may be a certificate issue related to unsupported older devices, but I’m wondering if anyone else is having this issue…specifically with the Fire Stick 4K? If the problem is that the 4K Stick is no longer supported, I’ll replace it with a Roku 4K Stick. Incidentally, the stick is plugged into an older Samsung TV…I tried installing the Plex app on the TV and encountered the same issue…no server found. I have updated my Plex server, exited and logged in to Plex on the Fire Stick, deleted and reinstalled the Plex app on the Fire Stick…all without any luck. I have also confirmed that my content is accessible via remote connection, so this doesn’t appear to be a network issue. I AM able to access my server content on other devices though (Android phones, iPad and Windows PC) over my local network. The only content that is available is Plex hosted content.
After working seamlessly, my Fire Stick 4K (earlier version than Fire Stick 4K Max) device is no longer finding my Plex server.
