First off, I hope this is the correct place to ask this question; it seemed like the most appropriate place out of all the options.
I have a LG smart tv that uses the smartshare app store and I have just recently setup a HTPC in my living room. We are able to access our media through the input list, but we would prefer to use the actual plex app that is in the tv's app store.
Problem is this: once I got it all setup and installed, it told me that I could not connect to the local media server unless I have a plex pass.
But my understanding was that the free version of Plex would work just fine for all of the devices that were setup on the same network (tablets and phones excluded).
So why is it that my TV, which is on my local network (at least it should be on the local network), require a premium subscription?
Please let me know if more info is needed or if I'm not making myself clear.
