Hi all,
Forgive me if this is a noob question (I haven’t been using Plex that long).
I’ve been running Plex through my Apple TV (Gen 3), and it works beautifully most of the time. Except that is for one problem, my ATV can’t connect to Plex Connect sometimes, all due to the Self_IP that keeps changing! So I go on my mac, into terminal and write down the new IP, go back to my ATV, into the settings and change the DNS to the same IP Number and BAM! Works fine again until the next time!
Is there any way to stop Plexconnect from changing the ‘Self_IP’ all the time?
Many Thanks!
The NAS/PC/Mac where PlexConnect is installed needs to have a fixed IP. The NAS/PC/Mac where Plex Media Server is installed also needs to have a fixed IP. If your router allows IP reservation please use it. Otherwise it’s possible to specify a fixed IP for each network card. If you use this last option please use an IP address not conflicting with the DHCP range.
