  • Detail on the media file if it is an issue related to playing a media file (in order to get the necessary information on a particular media file go into the Plex web interface, select the video file, when it brings up the page for the media file click on the "i" information button on the left hand side, it will then bring up a "media info" box, click on the "View XML" button, it will then open a browser window with the relevant information, copy this to http://www.pastebin.com and use the pastebin link to post the details; posting the information directly in the forum may mess up the formatting and generally takes up a lot of space):

  • A detailed description of the issue (the clearer you can make this the better): When i turn on my local (192.168.1.21) Firewall (with IceFloor) then the PlexConnect can't find any PMS. If i turn it of, it would be found. Which port do i have to give free that PlexConnect will run? The System says

  • "PlexAPI: No Respons from Plex Media Server"

  • "PlexAPI: We failed to reach a server. Reason: timed out"

  • If i turn of the Firewall then all works fine.
