Server Version#: 1.20.4.3508
PlexWeb Version 4.43.4
When loading Plexweb from behind my reverse proxy, plexweb hangs at the Plex splash screen.
This has been a working production server running Ubuntu 20.04.1 that, as of this update now fails to work correctly with my NGINX reverse proxy. The PMS seems to be working fine, as does plexweb if I load from plex.tv, and attempts to access using any player also work just fine. Only the reverse proxy is an issue.
Have there been any changes to Plex Web in the most recent update that i need to take into account in my NGINX config?
I am experiencing the exact same problem. Any luck finding answers or a solution?
I have found a solution in my build. In my use case, I have my site running through Cloudflare, and I had to turn off RocketLoader under the Speed settings. Once I did that, Plex had no issues loading. Likely this is not a Plex issue but a Cloudflare one as CF tends to get cranky with Plex. Why it was never an issue before this update i am uncertain, but at least I’ve alleviated the symptom and am running again.
@cydboone I have the exact same settings, with Rocket Loader having been enabled for 7 years on my domain without an issue.
My Plex server web interface loads perfectly right after disabling Rocket Loader.
Thanks a lot!
Oh jeez, I was running in circles trying to fix this. Same solution for me, had to disable Rocket Loader in Cloudflare. How were you able to find this out?
Another user in a Discord forum had the same issue and after looking at both our NGINX configs, which were clean(ish - I’m not an expert at writing configs, and i’m sure mine could be better, but it works), we determined the problem had to be elsewhere. so we just worked from our local machines outward until the only possible solution was something external to Plex, but common to both of us. From there it was trying every…single…thing… we could think of one setting…at…a…time…
That sounds like a huge headache, I’m glad you were able to figure it out and posted here! Very appreciated!
