It’s known. It is not happening to everyone but does happen to some. We are investigating but unsure why it only affects some.

Yeah so just heard about it. Have the same problem nothing really helps. Reinstalled everything even Plex server. Nothing helps so far. What’s for me the most irritating none of my devices show up on http://server.local.ip.address:32400/clients
