Have Plex Media Server listen on two different networks?

Plex Media Server

Hello

I have Plex Media Server on a CentOS VM and I wish for it to listen on two different networks

192.168.1.x
192.168.22.x

How can I configure this? The VM already has two networks cards and I can reach it (via ICMP and SSH) so that works. The issue right now is Plex listening on both.

Thank you

PMS will listen (and respond to requests) from both UNLESS you set a Preferred Interface in Settings - Server - Network.

The default adapter for the host will always be primary and the one which points to the internet.

Both point to the internet.

Its the lowest metric in the routing table that counts but nothing to do with Plex

Can you share some additional detail as to what your ultimate goal is? As @ChuckPa says, Plex Media Server listens on all available interfaces. If you don’t have IPv6 enabled in PMS, sudo netstat -tupnl output looks like this:

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:32400           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      202720/Plex Media S

Or, if IPv6 support is enabled:

tcp6       0      0 :::32400                :::*                    LISTEN      203017/Plex Media S

In either case, it binds to all interfaces. You can browse to PMS locally on any of them by browsing: http(s)://local-ip-address:32400/web

Its fixed.
