Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

I’m out tonight, but see if you can work your way through these steps:

  1. Stop the Plex plugin.

  2. From the Shell, navigate to the PMS data directory ${JAIL_ROOT}/Plex Media Server/. Your ${JAIL_ROOT} is likely to be different to mine so you will need to trace it eg.

  1. Next, display the contents of the PMS preferences file cat Preferences.xml.

  2. Look for and make a note of the allowedNetworks setting. If it’s empty, proceed.

First thing to try…

  1. Make a copy of the preferences file in case you stuff things up cp Preferences.xml PreferencesCopy.xml

  2. Using your favourite editor, edit Preferences.xml and add your local network/netmask to allowedNetworks eg. allowedNetworks="192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0"

  3. Exit the editor saving your changes. Restart the plugin. Click Management and see if you can get in now. If you can’t, we’ll move on to something else.
