Bear with me, this will take a while…
Preface: Two Plex servers, one overseas and one local.
Right around 8pm PST last night I noticed a stream from a device that I didn’t have as an authorized device playing from my overseas PMS. The peculiarity is that the device’s ip was geo’d 1 digit off my zip code and in my general area. The device showed as “Plex for Vizio.” I dropped the stream a few times thinking perhaps I missed something, or worse someone logged into my general account. Worrying further I decided to change my password and kick devices on the account to make sure if it was someone else, that I could eliminate that factor.
Low and behold the issue continued, so my next guess was API issue. I then checked Plex Status and Down Detector and noticed a couple in my area (LV). I checked the settings for each and found I was able to get into settings but unable to connect to either server. Thinking my preferences.xml was corrupt (read and learned about this quirk from others) I deleted it and removed both servers from the authorized devices (purged everything else I wasn’t actively using) and then tried again. Issue persisted, I could connect to settings on either now.
Starting to really suspect issues with the API I then updated both servers and purged my config on the local server (it’s Docker ran, I have backups and it was the easy route). This issue sadly also didn’t fix anything.
So now I’m stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
