My Experience since the "enforced switch" is Negative

So everything wored fine - for 12 years.
Then PLEX decided to foist a new server, reduce functionality of my existing subscription and force me onto new servers, new players and since then it is all just ■■■■.

I bought the lifetime plex pass - economically it works better - my expectation is I can access my server remotely in all the ways I used to be able to I did not see any caveats at the time of purchase my life time contract
But this is o the case - there is now clear breach of that life time contract, I cannot radch my home server remotely vai the web browser any mre and it seems even inside my own network my Bravia tvs are refused access over Wireless - they infatct need to be connected via cable.

  1. I can use plex on my home PC inside my home network using a downloaded plex app
  2. I can watch Plex on asony bravie wired into my network by netwqork cable using a Google APP store version of Plex player
  3. I cannot watch anything on my home library using Plex on the pc I can watch it on the downloaded player if I try to watch it via the Web browser version of plex .
  4. I cannot watch plex on an android tv using a Google App store version of the player APP when connected to my home network via wireless. - The Server is visible but it has a warnng triangle.
    In the old days - 12 yeasr pre the great “con Switch”, I used to manually set up the server access via the TV app no problem.
    Now it seems automation, no doubt some AI bllx and of cousre a load of clutching my viewing habits to sell on to who ever knows and I can’t access my home libraries.
    All in all a ■■■■ show.

Have you recently switched Internet providers? Just at a quick glance it sounds like your server isn’t available outside your wired home network. That could be related to many different network configurations.

Just the fact that you indicate you can watch on your TV over wired but not wireless seems to indicate to me that your WiFi network is a different subnet than your wired network. Any changes in routers, WiFi, etc. ?

Probably start by posting this from your server settings (Settings->Remote settings)
