Hey gang. We just received a new Sony X90J with Google TV. (We recently had a TCL 646, but returned it because it kept powering itself off). I have a very large library of DVDs that I copied into a Plex server. With that in mind, I'd like to be able to access the Plex app on my tv.
I've gone to the installed apps and the Plex app is not listed. I went to the search option on both the home page and the app page and searched for Plex. I also tried "install plex". All searches result in the TV telling me that it is launching Plex, then it sits for a few seconds with the spinning wheel before eventually just going back to whatever screen I was just on. Nothing happens.
When we first set up the TCL (also Google TV), when I searched for Plex, it installed the app for me and then I was able to launch it from the app icon. However, I've tried for quite a while on this new TV and I can't get it to quit trying to launch an app that isn't installed.
I'm reaching out to both Sony and Google, for assistance, but I'm expecting them both to respond by telling me to contact the other company. So, I figured I reach out to the smart, common sense people in this community before I drafted the support requests.
If anyone has any idea, I'd love to hear it. Thanks!!
I don't have a Sony but what I would do is go to the Play Store in a web browser. Login to the same google account as your TV. Try to install Plex on your TV from the web browser.
