Server Version#: 1.25.8.5663
I have 3 Netgear NAS (2 x 214, 1 x 316), Fedora Linux and Mac. I have Plex Media server running on all of them. I currently can see the server on 2 of the NAS’s and the Mac, I’m trying to add the others, but cant seem to do it.
I’ve used ssh -L local:localhost:32400 server and then used the local port on localhost through browser and it connects fine, but the server (I’m connected to) doesn’t even show itself.
Don’t know what’s going wrong???
Thanks
Is it claimed?
Browse towards http://<IP_OF_PMS>:32400/identity
If so, it should say: claimed="1"
All say claimed ie
According to our database, you have servers that are not published?
I also see, that you are using the same port for some of your servers!!!
You need to assign different ports, and port forwarding on your router
I’ve not enabled remote access, apart from fedora which is accessible for other services too
I’ve connected too all of them via ssh -L and accessing via localhost, don’t know how to enable them, the 214 replaced the 104)
Do I have to enable remote access??? I’m just trying to get it to work on my internal network.
No, but since most players need plex.tv access, you need the router/port thing I would say
Why? I only want to access one server from outside the network, all the servers can access the outside network i.e. open a session and the the router allows traffic back.
Plex stuff generally is all internal.
I’m having a somewhat simmilar issue. I’m in the proccess of migrating off Plex server on my Synology NAS, so I’ve set up a new Plex server running in Rocky Linux VM, while the old one is still running. However when I navigate to my new Plex server instance in a browser, when I log in I just get thrown into my old instance running on my Synology. I don’t seem to have any way of claiming my new server.
/identity among other things returns this:
claimed="0"
Is there a way to manually trigger the claiming proccess?
Nevermind, I figured it out. Apparently to claim a server, you have to be in the same subnet. I created a SSH tunnel as described in this article, and was able to claim it.
All my servers are “claimed” not all are visible in settings - even the one I’m accessing either directly or via ssh tunnel, I’m on the same subnet.
I still don’t seem to be able to do this, do I need to allow external access to all (and do port mapping on the router - they can all access ‘the internet’ and the router will allow/map out/in connections (i.e. outward bound originated - most inbound is firewalled). I’ve connected locally (web) and all servers seem claimed. But even if I connect to the Plex port (via local subnet or via ssh tunnel) that server won’t be visible to itself???
I see two servers, that hasn’t been seen online for +20 hours
One is named like a car, and the other ends with bits
I also see that their public address are all the same, as well as using the same port!
You need to define different ports for each server!
How do I get the admin, they are both on-line and I can access them via the Plex port, I cant access their settings, only “car” needs external IP remote access, none of the other servers should have any remote connections coming into them. I only ever set remote access on “car” and not on any of the others (the only ones I can see in settings are ed & ar) and Mac
Make a backup of Preferences.xml in the Library directory
Then change: PublishServerOnPlexOnlineKey="1" to PublishServerOnPlexOnlineKey="0"
After that, restart PMS, and it should not be online
What would be the location on fedora/ReadyNAS (ARM/x86) and Mac?
On those you can see, access Settings/Remote Access and disable from there
For others, look here, i don’t have the exact path, but look here:
found them and now “car” visible, seeing if can make others too
Now all servers are visible, thanks.
