Fuck yeah, finally got the old version of the Plex app reinstalled, so now I can cast to my Chromecast again!

For those not in the know, Plex released a major mobile app overhaul a few months ago that was widely received as "Dogshit". UI changes that make no sense, removal of some image browsing features, and the main issue I had was that casting from the app, a primary feature, no longer worked with Chromecast devices. Like....my smart TV.

Thankfully, and I can't believe I'm saying this, the good people of Reddit directed me to a tool known as APKTool M, which allows Android phones to directly install .apk files (apps). And since Plex posts all their previous versions on their forums, I was able to just snag the 10.26 version of the app, a downgrade from the current 10.30, which has all the features I lack.

How to fix Pandora app not working on LG Smart TV ?

https://smarthomeapt.com/43-pandora-app-not-working-on-lg-smart-tv-try-these-fixes

Here are 20 ways to fix issues with Plex not working on an LG Smart TV:

1. Update LG Smart TV software to webOS 3.5 or higher. Plex requires webOS 3.5 or later.

2. Update Plex Media Server to the latest version. The Plex app needs to connect to the latest server version.

3. Restart your Plex Media Server. A restart will refresh the server connection with the Plex app.

4. Refresh the Plex app on your LG Smart TV. Highlight the app and press the Menu or Settings button to refresh.

5. Reset the Plex app on your LG Smart TV. Select "Reset Plex App" or "Restore Plex App Defaults".

6. Uninstall and reinstall the Plex app on your LG Smart TV. Remove the app and sign in again with your Plex account email and password.

7. Power cycle your LG Smart TV. Unplug the TV for 2 minutes and plug back in to refresh software and firmware.

8. Check for firmware updates for your LG Smart TV. Outdated firmware can cause issues with the Plex app. Update if a newer version is available.

9. Check HDMI cable connections. Ensure HDMI cables connecting your media devices to the TV are securely plugged in. Loose connections can disrupt the Plex app.

10. Check your Wi-Fi signal strength. Move your router closer to the TV or switch to Ethernet for a faster, more stable network connection required by the Plex app.

11. Restart your Wi-Fi router. A router restart will re-establish the connection between your network devices including the TV and your media server.

12. Ensure your media server is wired to your network. For the best Plex performance, use an Ethernet connection between your router and the device hosting your media libraries.

13. Delete the Plex app from your LG Smart TV and reinstall it. If other troubleshooting steps haven't worked, deleting and reinstalling the app will rule out any software issues. Be sure to sign in with your Plex account again.

14. Refresh your Plex TV tuner. If you use Plex DVR, refreshing the tuner in the Plex app settings will re-establish the connection.

15. Check that "Plex Relay" is disabled in the Plex app settings. The Plex Relay feature can disrupt local connectivity between the Plex app and your media server.

16. Move your Plex Media Server to a faster device. If your server hardware is older, slow, or underpowered, it may have trouble maintaining app connections and streaming media. Consider upgrading to a newer device.

17. Check available storage on your Plex Media Server. Nearly full media storage can slow down the Plex app and cause connection issues. Free up additional storage space on the server.

18. Disable HDMI-CEC on your LG Smart TV. The HDMI-CEC feature can sometimes interfere with the Plex app. Turning it off may improve connectivity.

19. Reset your LG Smart TV to factory defaults. As a last resort, you can reset all software on the TV to default settings to fix issues with the Plex app not working. You will need to set up your TV and reinstall any apps again after resetting.

20. Contact Plex support. If problems with the Plex app persist after following troubleshooting, you may need to contact the Plex support team for further help in diagnosing and resolving issues.

Go to the Apps menu on your Vizio TV and find the Plex app. Select the Option or Menu button while the app is highlighted and look for an Enable/Disable or Uninstall option.

16. Refresh or replace your Ethernet cable (if connected). If either your Vizio TV or Plex server are connected via Ethernet, replace the cable to ensure there are no connectivity issues.

17. Disable HDMI-CEC control on your TV. The HDMI-CEC option can sometimes interfere with streaming. Go to your Vizio menu and turn off HDMI-CEC control.

20. Factory reset your Plex Media Server. If all else fails, you may need to reset your Plex Media Server to factory defaults and set it up again from scratch. Check your server documentation on how to reset.

15. Restart your Plex server device. If your Plex Media Server is acting up, it will affect the Plex app on TV. Restart devices like a NAS, computer, NVIDIA Shield, etc. running the Plex server.

16. Check your Plex server version. An outdated Plex server version can sometimes lead to issues with the Samsung TV app. Make sure your Plex server is updated to the latest version.
