When trying to load the Plex app on an LGWebOs smart TV, app says :-

CHECK NETWORK CONNECTION    Error CODE : -337

This may be a temporary issue. 
Please try again later. 

(RETRY)     (EXIT APP)

 

  • Firstly my network connection is fine. Netflix and YouTube loads and runs just seamlessly.
  • This has only been happening in the last few months
  • If I (RETRY) after a long wait sometimes it connects and loads correctly or I get the same error again.
  • I have tried other Plex clients on my home server and they work just fine. 

Specs:

  • LG OLED65C8PTA TV running Web OS 04.10.15.
  • LG Plex client app is version 2.1.6 from Sep 2016
  • Plex server is on my QNAP NAS and at version 1.13.5.291 from Sep 2018.

I guess my question is, if the LG Plex client app hasn't changed since 2016 and my Plex server is working for other clients, then what is going wrong?

Cheers
Noel

Since I originally posted this question, several things have happened. I have had several different versions of the Plex Server App on my QNAP NAS, and also there has been an update to the Plex Client App on the LG TV. Anyhow the upshot of all this is that my Plex on LG has been working well for about 6 month or so now, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure what has resolved the issue. I did not try your method, only because my thought was if it is working now then don't change anything... ;-)

What you said in your YT video made sense though.

      Popup messages: Wired Lan cable disconnected / Wired network is connected
      By John Bizeray
      I recently updated the firmware on my  LG43UH610V.  Now I constantly get "Wired Lan cable disconnected" / "Wired network is connected" messages even while watching a video file from my NAS. The TV is connected and using the network while getting these messages. It has always been on a fixed IP address on the LAN.

      Plex unusable on webos
      By Lgrump
      Is it just me or is the plex app just unusable on webos.  When I try to select dvr items with the magic remote they just don’t play.  I am not sure if this is a plex issue or an lg webos issue.  Anyone know which it is?

Cinematic visuals and close-up demonstrations make viewers feel like they’re one-on-one with the instructors.

      LG TV strange connection issue
      By Frederik Kordiak
      Hi all, so I have 2 LG OLED TVs at home and I am connecting them to 5GHZ Wi-Fi, no problem until yesterday. Suddenly, I am not able to use the apps (Netflix, IPTV, Disney etc.) and both TVs are showing connection issues. The same Wi-Fi works on my PC and mobile though. So I tried connecting using a different Wi-Fi with my hotspot and both TVs worked again with no problems. I tried restarting my router many times and my provider said there is no issue on their end, but I am not able to use the home Wi-Fi anymore. 
      Have you seen this before? Is it possible that my provider blocked my LGTVs from accessing their network?
      Thanks
