Step 2. Create association of Plex Media Center for OS X with PLEXAPP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PLEXAPP file to open in the Plex Media Center for OS X application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PLEXAPP file with the Plex Media Center for OS X application.
Step 3. Update Plex Media Center for OS X to the latest version
If, however, after binding Plex Media Center for OS X with Plex Package there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PLEXAPP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the PLEXAPP file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PLEXAPP or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PLEXAPP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PLEXAPP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PLEXAPP files.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PLEXAPP except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move PLEXAPP to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PLEXAPP file again. However, some background programs may block the PLEXAPP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
