Running plexmediaserver in an ubuntu 16.04 LXC fail

System: Ubuntu 16.04

So, I made an Ubuntu 16.04 container with some tweaks to make it show up on my local network.
The basics involving creating a custom bridge like:

anders@lenox:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#Added for lxc bridge

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
    bridge-ifaces enp4s0
    bridge-ports enp4s0
    up ifconfig enp4s0 up

iface enp4s0 inet manual

enp4s0 being my eth0 as systemd takes over ;)
Then setting LXC network settings to the correct bridge:

anders@lenox:~$ sudo cat /var/lib/lxc/media/config
[sudo] password for anders: 
# Template used to create this container: /usr/share/lxc/templates/lxc-ubuntu
# Parameters passed to the template:
# For additional config options, please look at lxc.container.conf(5)

# Uncomment the following line to support nesting containers:
#lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/nesting.conf
# (Be aware this has security implications)


# Common configuration
lxc.include = /usr/share/lxc/config/ubuntu.common.conf

# Container specific configuration
lxc.rootfs = /var/lib/lxc/media/rootfs
lxc.rootfs.backend = dir
lxc.utsname = media
lxc.arch = amd64

# Network configuration
lxc.network.type = veth
lxc.network.link = br0
lxc.network.flags = up
lxc.network.hwaddr = 00:16:3e:6e:5f:75

#anders: added to make it work
lxc.aa_allow_incomplete = 1

Using br0 I´m creating a bridge making my LXC draw an ip from my router instead of another subnet.

When i try to connect to the page x.x.x.x:32400 the page shows:

Inside the container I get:

Please disable "Verbose" logging

When logs (server or client app) are requested for an investigation, please do NOT turn on "verbose" logging unless it is explicitly requested. Verbose logging makes things much more difficult in the majority of cases.
