Gave this a spin and it finds my plex server, but always says it is down. The plex server is on a different machine which runs Ubuntu 14. Everything is within the same network. What info would I need to get you to help track down what could be going on?

Hi,
Can you try this URL in your navigator when you are playing something (just replace “YourServerIP” by the right address) :
http://YourServerIP:32400/status/sessions

Send if nothing happen you have a problem to reach Plex API, if you see something please copy/paste here or in PM, I will take a look :wink:
