No PMS found, whether or not signed in to MyPlex, as per PlexConnect.log (a “more detailed fresh” one). Please advise this first-time user about how to remedy the issue.

cheers,

PS - changing ip_pms = 192.168.178.10 to PMS’s ip didn’t deliver

Signed in to myPlex:

    <Connection address="192.168.26.1" local="1" port="32400" protocol="https" uri="https://192-168-26-1.*.plex.direct:32400" />
    <Connection address="192.168.26.2" local="1" port="32400" protocol="https" uri="https://192-168-26-2.*.plex.direct:32400" />

Your PMS shows two local IP addresses, both different to the .10 you state in your question. Unfortunately the PlexConnect algorithm is a bit on the light side, only distinguishing local vs remote, so in that case it is trying to access .2.
Try to unpublish/republish you server to fix those lines… or at least to let the .10 show up.

Not signed in… no idea. Is your PMS configured to answer PlexGDM requests?

baa,

Utterly clueless as to why this .178**.10** ip would even show up in Settings.cfg in the first place, since other local addresses are in the .26. range (dhcp-fixed). So I couldn’t quite get my head around that part of your suggested course of action until, that is, stumbling on Disabling GDM auto discovery of your Plex Media Server.

Anyway, rather than ticking GDM, adding the local network-netmask in PMS’s corresponding settings cleared the decks for access otherwise unauthorised!

cheers,

PS - now all that’s left to be desired is fanart, hence appreciative of a pointer on PIL not installed as well.
