I’m having a recurring issue with PMS. It repeatedly and randomly loses remote access. There’s no pattern that I’ve noticed. Sometimes I can disable then re-enable and remote access will work. Sometimes I have to close out PMS altogether and restart for it to work. Either way, it might last an h…

I didn’t have debog logging enabled at the time; I’ll turn it on and see if the issue replicates. I’m not sure where to check for Tautulli update frequency…

Been having the same trouble since adding a new router Asus RT-AC68u to the mix and also running PIA VPN which didnt matter when it was just through the Huawei HG659 modem. Seems like I have had one problem after another, however achieving remote access now is simply confounding me. I thought this m…

I just updated to the latest version, which was supposed to fix the remote access bug, and now I can’t connect remotely AT ALL. It’s totally broken. If I access my external IP (the one plex sees in server settings) in the specified port, from outside my LAN, it works fine. Clearly the port is ope…

So I recently updated to PMS v1.14.0.5470, and I kept having this Remote Access issue. I decided to go into my router and check port forwarding. uPnP was activated, but there was no port forwarding rule for my Plex server. I manually created the rule (I did not manually specify the public port in t…
