Lost all access to my PLEX server - WD EX4100

Server Version#:1.32.8.7639

Player Version#:unknown

Server - WD EX4100

Had access yesterday, but only after a day of revalidating my server files since it was failing on Friday as well. Once revalidated, was then able to reconnect.

I have access to the server on this system, and others.

Insecure connections is disabled. This has not changed.

One thing to note about all the articles for this, this is ONLY available in the Plex for Windows app.

The actual location is ‘Settings > Plex Web - General/Plex for Windows - General > Show Advanced > Allow Fallback to Insecure Connections’.

This does not exist on the Plex Web UI so makes all the articles confusing when reading to look at ‘Setting > Advanced > ‘Insecure Connections’.

Unsure what this version is - 4.123.2. Am running WD OS5 on my server.

The installed app on the server is PlexMediaServer-1.32.8.7639-fb6452ebf-WDMyCloudEX4100_OS5.bin.

Additionally Plex (Windows App) is version 1.86.1 (Version 1.86.1.4076-a3ab948d).

Have restarted both Router and WD Server and retried connection.

I created a new server locally called CAVEMANGAMING, but this has nothing since it is new and I have not added anything to it. It was just a local test.

Unable to connect to WDMyCloudEX4100.

This fails in all browsers.

I have also uninstalled everything and reinstalled an older version on the server, which also failed.

Where do I need to go next? I’d hate to have to rebuild my server every day just to have access to the server in PLEX, which seemed to work a couple days ago.

I have also tried with VPN On/Off. No change.

Unsure what you are asking, or telling.

The address cannot connect.

Once again, rebuilt server (Server side ‘System Test’ and ‘Disk Test - Full Test’.

Uninstalled all PLEX apps/programs everywhere.
Reinstalled PLEX on server.
Re-initialized Web access login.

Now I see my PLEX server and the expected movies/playlists/watchlists.

I highly doubt anyone will have any clues on this, but wanted to post the results as it may happen again since this is the second time in as many weeks.
