you can just access the webinterface if you enable it in the settings. And to do so you need IPv6 at the location youre at. Seems germany is still one of the first with so much deployed ipv6 so guess you have to wait. I fixed this by ordering a Horidon HD Recorder (which ironically) does not support ipv6 so you get an ipv4 connection back. It will cost you 5 Euros per month but for me it was worth it so I can access my home network from outside again
I dont want to order this Horizon Router... So is there any other solution to get this myplex to work? :s
no, there isnt
hmm yeah i know now. I called the Unitymedia support but they dont want to give me a ipv4 connection back :( I hope there is just one Dev of the Plex team who is watching this forum :/ I think nearly every german ISP is swtiching to Ipv6 right now or already changed their systems. So please if any Dev see this post try to give us IPv6 support! Otherwise this program is useless for many of us :/
Even if the IPv6 gets published to myplex, what do you expect then?
The main reason for myplex is that you can access you media server from outside of your home. Wether it is a wifi or a mobile connection.
So even if you see an ipv6 in myplex for your server, you would still not be able to access it from your mobile phone when on the road, since your mobile provider does not have IPv6 support yet. You have IPv4 on your phone.
Also most wifi networks out there have only IPv4.
People with only native IPv6 at home who want to access a service at home will have problems accessing it, until ipv6 is available in more networks like mobile phone companies, public wifi's, corporate networks,….

And why would that be?
I for one have native IPv6 at home and at work. I am directly affected by the DS-Lite problem and it would help me tremendously to have IPv6 Support in MyPlex.
Secondly, even if my upstream network only provides v4 addresses to my device there's a number of ways to transparently or manually get an IPv6 prefix routed onto my cell phone or laptop. If I'm not natted I can ifup a 6to4 device and get instant access to the v6 world. If I'm behind one or several NAT devices I can use a Teredo tunnel to get a local v6 prefix. If I wanted to keep the same prefix wherever I go I could setup a tunnel with a tunnel broker like he.net and have local IPv6.
Bottom line, your statement is wrong. If I have v4 connectivity there's always a way to get v6 connectivity as well and therefor access to my Plex server at home. So IPv6 support in MyPlex would help a lot and is long overdue imo.
At the moment more and more german people facing this problem :/
And why do you want to watch movies over your mobile phone when your not at home?
The traffic is too high so its not worth it :S
Like with one of our mobile internet provider you will get 3gb traffic for like 30 € and 3gb traffic is not that much if you want to watch movies and series over your plex server.
nothing new here :( need ipv6 support for multiuser setup...

you can still use plex from your phone and be in a wifi when not at home... Or do you really only use Wifi at home? :P
Of course you can, but that was not my point.Secondly, even if my upstream network only provides v4 addresses to my device there's a number of ways to transparently or manually get an IPv6 prefix routed onto my cell phone or laptop.
Exactly, "IF". In how many percent of networks are you not natted today?If I'm not natted I can ifup a 6to4 device and get instant access to the v6 world. If I'm behind one or several NAT devices I can use a Teredo tunnel to get a local v6 prefix.
Good luck with a HE.net tunnel behind a NAT.If I wanted to keep the same prefix wherever I go I could setup a tunnel with a tunnel broker like he.net and have local IPv6.

Is there any Solution? I am with Unitymedia and IPv6. 
Same issue with m-net in Munich. I got DS-Lite and cannot see my server from the outside anymore…
I started tweeting to the plex team to raise some awareness. Maybe others could do the same?
Funny this is still an issue. I got my ISP to turn off DS-Lite on my account and provide dual stack IPv4 and IPv6. Ironically not because of Plex but because of a bug in their router firmware that broke incoming v6 connections.
Anyways, it's ridiculous a supposedly modern service like myPlex can't handle IPv6 IPs. Esp. since it wouldn't even require them to change their servers or make them available via IPv6. They'd just have to handle the 128bit IP addresses in the metadata. But maybe their system stores IPs as uint(32) so it might be a non-trivial issue to solve.
Plex runs on AWS, which does not support IPv6 yet, unless you have your application behind an ELB.
I don't know if that would be really be a problem to support IPv6 for plex server sharing, since the main thing that is needed is only retrieving the ip address from the web app.

You don't seem to understand the problem. The myPlex Service does not need to run on IPv6.
Every IPv6 Client currently has the means to access a website that is running IPv4. Be it via DS-Lite or Dual Stack.
myPlex just requires the capability to process IPv6 formatted addresses in the request made by the Plex Server. So that when the Plex Client asks myPlex for the IP of the Plex Server, the myPlex website returns a IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 address.
Here's a picture of what I mean:
bump
Aaaand here is another one who needs plex with full ipv6 support...
to the topic "there are many ipv4 networks out there" yes... but a) it does not help, because my plex server is not accessible without ipv6 support. there is just no way. b) there are enough easy ipv6 over ipv4 solutions... some routers have it enabled by default. so you do not have to do tricky hacking with 6over4 programms... for mobile phones could be a bit more complicated, but here i must reference to a). I have only ipv6 and i can not change it. ipv4 is diing, ipv6 should be supported.
Same issue here (KabelBW).
I just bought myself a lifetime plexpass and can't really use it :(
Hope it'll get fixed in my lifetime.
Would having your PMS server publish a domain name instead of your IPv4 address resolve this issue?
