hello plex experts. i’m having a heck of a time trying to figure out a connectivity problem… this kind of feels like a verizon issue, but i am hoping someone else has run into this before. my plex server (linux, just updated to latest earlier today) is working great on my local network. it also w…

So, @ChuckPa helped me get to the bottom of this in a number of DMs. i’ll summarize here so anyone else can find it later, if it is of any use to others. so the DNS settings turned out to be nothing. eventually found that things were failing with any combination of DNS settings, so this was just a…

Thanks. I am looking at them now. Something is wrong, I believe, with how it’s connected. There is a 108.x.x.x address connecting to plex.direct. This is incorrect. 108.x.x.x is a public WAN address not a LAN address. I see 192.168.0.4 appearing as the WAN IP for one of your gateway devi…

108.x.x.x is likely the public ip of my home (where the plex server is located). edit: just to be clear, my public IP is 108.x.x.x. i’m sure the one you are seeing is my public ip. 192.168.0.4 is the plex server’s local IP. up until about a month ago, i had two routers chained together at home. p…

In simple terms: plex.direct is a private domain used by PMS (the server) . It passes around player names and the internal DNS server resolves to IP I see plenty of activity from a 98.1xx.xxx.xxx address This is telling me that, If I understand correctly, they are going out -> Internet …

that is correct - 98.1xx.xxx.xxx would be the public IP where i am trying to connect from.

There is connection and data flow in these logs Feb 15, 2020 20:08:14.704 [0x7fb81d3af700] DEBUG - Transcoder segment range: 96 - 114 (113) Feb 15, 2020 20:08:14.738 [0x7fb7ea7fc700] DEBUG - Transcoder segment range: 96 - 114 (114) Feb 15, 2020 20:08:14.738 [0x7fb7b67fc700] DEBUG - Transcoder segme…

this PC is on wifi, and the signal strength is not great. i’m also remotely connected to it (via teamviewer), so that might be eating up some of the bandwidth. the problem is not isolated to just this PC, we had the same problem from iPhone & Roku clients, but they are also on wifi. They are closer…

I’m going to offer my general statement: A server on WiFi is not a good situation to be in if at all avoidable. The server’s reliability is dependent on its WiFi signal strength. Everything on the WiFi suffers if the server is streaming , even if streaming remote. Can you get the server on a wi…

oh, sorry. i misunderstood before. the server (at my home) is wired directly to my home router. the client (PC at my parents house) is the one on wifi.

Let’s construct a very controlled test case. There are a lot of variables in flight here and I’m on the verge of being contotally fused :wink: Restart your server With all other activity stopped. Using only a player on their network, Start playback from your server. Let’s establish what is h…

sure, i will run the test you described. will likely be later today or tomorrow.

I have a Verizon g3100, and the plex media server does not have stable remote access… I got the My Fios app, and turned on the HNP, and then turned it off, so I am sure that that is not the issue for me… I made a post here: Remote access not stable... Verizon Fios g3100 router problems?
