But why are we mentioning this all here? This is because upon carrying out the two aforementioned tweaks, users were able to fix the Plex slow and lagging issues on Samsung and LG Smart TV. These include setting the Plex app to Allow Insecure Connections and setting the Plex Media Server to Preferred instead of Mandatory. So how could we allow connections to a personal server on these Samsung and LG Smart TVs? Well, you will have to checkmark two requirements for the list for that to happen. But again, due to root certificate limitations with Tizen, most Samsung models will not support secure connections with a personal Plex Media Server. Likewise, only the Samsung TVs that are running Tizen-based OS fall under the app’s compatibility list. However, due to root certificate limitations with this OS, only webOS 5.0+ devices support secure connections with a personal Plex Media Server. When it comes to LG smart TVs, then the Plex app is supported on TVs running the webOS 3.0 and higher versions.
