Where do I enter my Plex TV code?

It should be entered into the website when installing the media server or if you are using the smart TV remote you will have to press the code button to enter the code.

Once you have entered the code in the website you will have to select the 'Add Media Server' button. You will now see that the Plex Media Server will connect to your remote and show you a code. It might take a few seconds to make this connection so don't panic if it takes a while to appear.

When you click on the 'Connect' button you will then be asked if you want to add an exception to your home router, this is simply adding a port number so your Internet services work properly whilst you are using your Plex Media Server. If you want to continue with this installation and you have added this exception to your router you will then be redirected back to the setup and you will see a list of all the media servers that have been added to the web interface. Step 1 - Select the device you wish to install the Plex Media Server to and then select 'Next'. Step 2 - A window will open asking if you want to allow this server to access network resources on your local network. You can click 'yes' and this will start the server and you will be logged into the software on your computer or mobile device. This means that you will now be able to access all the media files that are located on the Plex Media Server through a file manager application such as Windows Explorer or CyberDuck.

If you select 'No' you will need to restart the server later in order for this option to work properly. You will also need to make sure that your home router has been configured to allow the Plex Media Server to access the network resources.
