After plex upgrade i get now message “looking for servers” after loggin via WEB gui. I have tried accessing also via app.plex.tv but under my media is message “get plex media server”.. I followed already existing forum topics. No help. Please help. Here are screenshots

did you try accessing the server by your local server ip ?

http://192.168.x.x:32400/web

?

Or http://localhost:32400/web if you don’t know the IP…

Hei. I access server by domain name which is resolving to public ip

5

I know both, the domain name and ip. Please see screenshot

you can’t do the initial sign in to the server from a public ip

you must be on the local host or the local lan

When the server is remote:

1.  ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400  IP.ADDR.OF.HOST  (use putty if accessing from windows)
2.  sign in and let sit idle.
3.  http://127.0.0.1:8888/web      (in local incognito browser window)

You have minor typo. This way ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 IP.ADDR.OF.HOST

This worked. Server was re-added e.g now configuration was shown to add server. For others: this to happen you need to configure web browsers session as localhost on server (Can be done via tunnel or vncserver) or if plex in your pc then on local pc.

Fat Fingering corrected . Thanks

ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.host
