Plex Media Server and Amazon Fire Stick 2

I had set up the Plex server using intel NUC N5105 running Ubuntu. I can see on the computer web http://127.0.0.1:32400/web with all the movies I downloaded. I can see the movie from the Iphone app as well. However, when I check on the Amazon Fire Stick connected to TV, I couldn't see any movies I downloaded. I tried to uninstall and reinstalled and issue is still there. I am using Plex free
Is this something to do with the Plex premium instead of Plex Free? or is this something to do with the network?

    This site can’t be reached
    127.0.0.1 refused to connect.

    • hahaha. I hope can connect too

  • when I check on the Amazon Fire Stick connected to TV, I couldn't see any movies I downloaded.

    Have you logged into your plex account?

    • definitely, but now movie shown. I tried to restart the fire stick tv, uninstall and reinstall the app on fire stick. no help at all

  • Probably a Plex configuration issue or network issue of some sort.

    127.0.0.1 is the loopback address and refers to the local device.

      Yeah understand that and i am looking for anyone who faces the issue like me

      • Mainly explaining a local loopback address given the can't connect comments and (not clearly) answering this -

        • free/premium doesn't make a difference in terms of your use case.

        Let's dig into this. To summarise so far:

        • you've re installed the app
        • you can see the server interface via your computers loopback address
        • you can access on iPhone
        • your Firestick can't see the server

        Surely, you've googled this. So, what else have you tried?

        Changed any Plex settings?

  • Linked the device to your plex account using the code?

    Can the firestick app see & connect to the plex server?

    Jellyfin works much better on the firestick.

    • Linked - yes
      Not sure as login and no movie shown even though we’re same network

  • The server may not be pinned to the left side. Look below the account icon for unpinned devices, it opens to another page, and you may see the server with all movies hiding there, just pin them to the front page
