PLEX on Linux Buffering Direct Play

Server Version#: 1.13.5.5332Plex Media Server Logs_2018-09-02_21-15-40.zip (3.1 MB)

Player Version#: 3.57.1

I am using Direct Play from a Fedora 24 Plex Server, via LAN to an LG 4K WebOS TV, I am using Xplay since I have failed to avoid trans-coding with the official app.

Hardware: 6GB of RAM, i52500K CPU, and a 7200rpm HDD, 3TB.

Attached are the logs I took one minute after the last buffer, I was watching Mission Impossible.

I am seeing these entries:

Coul it be a network related issue in terms of resolving DNS or Internet accessibility?

Up until seeing these logs, I always believed Plex could work on a LAN totally isolated from the world

Yes, this is DNS lookup failure by the host. It couldn’t find plex.tv to contact it.
