The update to 2.5.2 is clean and automated. If your config is valid, it WILL come back up. You only need to be patient with it. (it does a lot to make sure it comes up right).
Before going that far, what does your NAT-UPnP config look like?
Does it look like this? (notice the ACL list at the bottom – important for Plex)
Interesting… I’ve never seen this page. There’s nothing in the UPnP Access Control Lists, no ACL entries. Also, before the UPnP ACL section, my checkbox for deny access to UPnP & NAT-PMP by default is NOT checked (uh-oh)…
I added a an ACL entry just like you did, and enabled the block checkbox and restarted the service. Still can’t get Plexamp to connect when on cellular from outside. If I go to status>UPnP there are no entries…
Yes I added one for LAN IP of PMS.
If I open chrome browser app on my android phone and browse to my_home_IP:32400 while on cellular it connects, steaming music right now! But Plexamp won’t!
I see no entries in UPnP status, but I currently have Plex to manually use 32400, not “auto” in the remote access settings page of Plex. Perhaps the UPnP works if you DON’T have manual port forwarding set up?
Yep, disabled manual port selection in PMS settings and now I can see a UPnP entry in pfSense UPnP status page. But even this way, Plexamp isn’t working. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I dunno, maybe I need to bite the bullet and completely remove/reset the android plexamp app because it’s lost whatever connection with PMS after it ran out of storage space and we got it running again.
FWIW. I am using 8.19.4 Nvidia Shield app . I wonder if you have any of the older apps around (or clear the app cache on the android – which is always problematic) it will start to fly right again?
Well… its working now! In Plexamp, on cellular data and not on WiFi… Not sure if it was purely changing PMS secure connections setting from preferred to disabled or that AND resetting the Plexamp app… but now it’s working. If it’s the secure connections… any ideas on why having that set to preferred or required would cause Plexamp to not connect? Is there something I need to do in pfSense perhaps?
EDIT: yep, it’s secure connections setting in PMS. I changed it to required and now I can’t play music in Plexamp. Changed it back to disabled, Plexamp on mobile data works. So… is it my network, something I need to unblock in pfSense or… is Plexamp incompatible with both the “required” and “preferred” secure connection settings now? Hmm…
Mr. Feingold told me “this might be related to an issue where the server could end up with a certificate with an expired intermediate. plexamp logs showing error 60 would hint at this. no reason otherwise why it can’t run with require secure connections”
Any idea what this means? If I had to “reset” or whatever we did to my PMS, perhaps that’s what’s happened?
Plexamp, if it behaves as all apps should and as he created for PMS, would pull fresh from Plex.tv each time it starts so would automatically have the latest info about the server.
It does sound like something got out of sync but your guess is as good as anything else. Unfortunately I’ve never used the app so have zero knowledge of it or its expected behaviors
I pulled Plexamp logs, I’ll work in the proper forums for the app from here since, for the purposes of this thread, you got my server back up and running!
Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated! And I’ll looking into the pfSense update!
Well, here I am again! PMS not working again.
Didn’t we move the directory to have more room? Looks like some directory is full again. I don’t know why, I’ve not added any media to PMS, just accessed music with plexamp.

Now that I think about it, we moved the PMS folder from /var/lib to /mnt/storage, isn’t that the same partition and therefore not the larger partition that’s “storage1”?
if you have any of the older apps around (or clear the app cache on the android – which is always problematic) it will start to fly right again?
