The Plex Media Server (or PMS) offers a user-friendly way of storing media files in one place. This centralized storage makes it easier for you to access them from any device.

After login your device will automatically be updated and you will be able to stream content on your device. These steps will allow you to link any device to access the Plex TV streaming app. Also, you can sync your device’s local data in the Plex TV app to stream it on multiple devices.

You can view Plex for free through the Plex Media Server (it's media that you already own) and the Plex Web App, and essentially through any platform that is non-mobile and public (such as Amazon Fire TVs, Roku, Smart TVs, etc.).
The mobile app can be used for free on Android and iOS, but without an in-app purchase or a Plex Pass, you will encounter viewing limitations.
A Plex Pass grants you unlimited mobile app capabilities, and is the fully-featured premium service that can be purchased in a monthly ($4.99), yearly ($39.99), or lifetime subscription ($119.99).
You can fix some of the above-mentioned problems using the following methods:
If you are running an outdated version of the PMS, update it by going to the download page. When updating the server, first choose your platform (Windows, Linux, Seagate, etc.) so that you can get the latest version. Also, ensure you are using the latest version of your TV or mobile app.
If your app is unable to connect to Plex server, chances are you have already signed into the PMS using your Plex account. It could also mean that your application is signed in and connected to your account. Here is what you can do to fix the problem:
Sign out of your Plex account in both the PMS and app
Log in to your Plex account in the Plex Media Server
Sign in to your account in the Plex app or through plex.tv/link sign in
If you can’t connect to the Plex server, it is useful that you ensure the PMS is actively running.
Some people encounter the error message – “Plex unable to connect to the content server.” In most cases, the problem could be both your PMS and app are not on the same local network. Your server and the application must be on the same subnet of the network to link correctly.
For example, if your server is on 222.222.0.222, your app must also be on 222.222.0.222. You can change these settings by going to Settings > Server > Network.
If you link Plex to TV and the service cannot find the server, it could be you have not connected your player app to your Plex account. Here is what you should do if Plex can’t find the server.
Open the app on your TV
Select Sign In
A four-character Plex activation code will display on your screen
Go to plex.tv/link on your desktop browser
If you do not know where to enter Plex code, look for the space bar that says CODE
Click on "Submit".
Once you submit, your player app will refresh. That will complete the step for linking it to your account.
