Plex console - NetworkServiceBrowser

Hi
Console keeps giving message:
NetworkServiceBrowser: Error sending out discover packet from xxx.xxx.xxx.xx to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Operation not permitted

Probably I’ve blocked Plex with the firewall
but What Plex needs here ?

@Disco2021

It’s attempting to send out SSDP discover packets (UDP) and not being allowed to access the LAN broadcast address.

Linux shouldn’t be complaining about this unless you have expressly blocked sending certain protocols or the multicast group address.

LAN addresses are safe to post in public. Only your WAN address should be kept private. Can you show me the specific address?

Hi there are two types of ip ( seems random):

  1. to “External” IP 1xx.1xx.1x.127 (provider)
  2. to the broadcast : 239.255.255.250
    The second is the most frequent.
    There is no allow for incoming udp port .It only allows outgoing udp ports
