I was fiddling around with my settings, and on my mobile device I changed the DNS to an external DNS instead of the home wifi network and suddenly Downloads synced.
I’d still like to hear about dnsmasq fix, but if anyone is looking for a temp fix perhaps this is an alternative. Would be good for Plex to address this in some way, or provide a fix.
Similar to oskyplop’s fix, here is how I was able to work around the issue. I found that I was able to download successfully on cell data, so it has to be something with in-network wifi. I found several other threads that seem to indicate DNS-related issues.
After trying several things, here are 3 options (pick one) that all worked for me:
I wish we didn’t need to do this, but the above solutions all worked for me. I think ultimately the issue seems to be inside your network DNS related.
Changing my network’s DHCP DNS servers to Google’s did NOT work (at least in my testing).
Hopefully, this helps someone.
What a carry on, typical behaviour for Plex of course.
Just keeping this alive as it’s still not fixed. I just manually transferred my stuff to a memory card to take on holiday with me to play on Kodi (read XBMC) like it was 2005!
