I know this topic has been brought up multiple times but I want to bring it up again as it becomes more and more relevant as many internet providers in the EU provide IPv6 only with IPv4 via shared GCNAT (which they do not allow to forward through). Server IPv6 Allow the Plex server to advertise it…

See this comment @chris_decker08 about a week back…

Good timing!! [image] Plex Media Server [Network) IPv6 support has TEMPORARILY been made a plex pass feature (PM-5140) (Network) Support for ipv6 only networks (PM-5140)

Great! Just updated to the beta, however I still only the ipv4 address is shown. Should this be visible in the UI?

I haven’t updated, so not sure. Occasionally, when I’ve updated in the past, I need to do a second restart of the server to get new features to show up. Hopefully one of the mods or a plex employee will be able to provide more details…

Which client are you using? You’ll need to make sure that IPv6 is enabled on the server. Settings > Server Settings > Network. Select either IPv6 Only or the dual stack option. [image]

For testing I’m using the web client, but the server setting UI still shows ipv4 only, and the plex API also reports only the ipv4 IP as “not reachable”: https://....plex.direct:32400/myplex/account ... "MyPlex": { "mappingState": "mapped", "mappingError": "unreachable", "…

Can we try a couple things first? Change the setting to IPv6, save, and restart PMS Double check the Remote Access page to see your IPv6 address Start a playback session with client with a IPv6 connection, view the Dashboard to see your IPv6 address Remove the custom domain field Retest your o…

Hi Atomatth, I have a dual-stack connection and QNAP TS-464. The IPv6 address only appears on the remote access page if I set the network settings to “IPv6 only.” With open port 32400 for that address, I cannot find my Plex server—neither on my home network nor externally via my Samsung Handy S25. T…

[image] Qtip: Samsung Handy S25 On you mobile device, can you please enable IPv6 Support (Settings > Advanced > Include IP V6 Connections), restart the app, and test again (remote and local). [image] Qtip: IPv6 support applies only to pure IPv6 connections Yes, when the PMS setting IP…

Thanks for your quick support! My Handy is working now, switching on IPv6 in the settings. But my Samsung TV (2023 Modell, Tizen 9, Plex-App 594.1) does not (with IP6-only). If i switch to “IPv4 and IPv6” in PMS network settings, I can only set an IPv4 for remote access. Restart PMS does not change…
