Plex for web search video thumbnail CORS policy bug?

Hi,

When searching for movies, some thumbnails does not work. Chrome prints the following in the console:

Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘https://(ID REMOVED).plex.direct:32400/photo/:/transcode?width=240&height=360&minSize=1&upscale=1&url=%2Flibrary%2Fmetadata%2F23867%2Fthumb%2F1628420277(PLEX TOKEN REMOVED)’ from origin ‘https://app.plex.tv’ has been blocked by CORS policy: No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource.

I’m using app.plex.tv and it appears the search “window” does not like to request resources from another domain, when just browsing the movies it works just fine though.

Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930
Player Version#: 4.63.0

A CORS error was mentioned in another thread.

This worked for the person reporting the problem:

I resolved this by going to url. chrome://flags/
there you search for the flag Block insecure private network requests. and set to disable.
The Browser needs to be restarted, and the application now appears to work.

Thanks for the reply!

I did as you suggested and the very same error still persists I’m afraid.
