@cayersagain… i know you to be a long time and active member here… but also as I have noticed over the years as plex has poached / converted / brainwashed whatever these people into paying positions they all seem to change their tune and unanimously beging singing the same … plex is great and without flaw tune…
I’m not brainwashed and any employee can tell you that, as we sometimes go round and round on issues. You can also view the forum and see many posts and long running threads I’ve started on issues I’m not satisfied with about Plex.
now on to the proxy…
again to be clear… this is not a full, external to the internet proxy… and NO changes have been made to plex server, its ports, or any of its interet settings… period…
I understand based on your description how you are using it. But I also know the changes to settings you have to make in Plex in order to get a reverse proxy to work with it. I’ve been around the block a few times.
the fact that a host, a host vm, etc having multiple nics is not … and should not be an issue as in todays market just about everything is now comming with multiple nics…
On this we agree. However, we don’t live in an ideal world and Plex isn’t the best app when it comes to multiple NICS. It’s pretty well known (good or bad) about this and what the work a rounds are.
if your software were coded with even a modicrum of skill… multiple nics would be a non issue however plex’s sloppy approach to overcome network issues by basically listening to every interface on the host is a BIG issue…
That’s a big understatement. Believe it or not it’s not as easy as you might think it is. Plex is much more complex than people think it is. But I digress since I do basically agree with you. However, if I were a betting man I don’t know if I’d wager if this will change. It would take a big effort and would probably introduce numerous bugs which would need to get ironed out. It’s one of those things where the end result may not be worth the effort.
