publish server via IPv6

General Discussions

Hi, 

I'm affected as well by the mentioned problem.

ISP: Unitymedia, DS-Lite and no connection from the myPlex service to my Plex Server. Fortunately I did not apply for paid service and will wait until this problem will be solved in the future.

I recognized the Plex stuff by accident in the Synology's third party apps store.

Synologys internal "Video station" app works with IPV6 from the internet with a mobile device and the "quickconnect" functionality. So for me it looks like I will end up to use this platform...

Too bad, MyPlex interface had a little bit cooler outfit.

Regards

Same Problem with M-Net vdsl in Munich. No IPv4, just DS lite and you are forced to use a mediocre fritzBox, no freedom of choice, no vdsl access data provided to change your router. These two no gos are the reason I terminated the contract with M-Net, signed with easybell. Freedom of routerchoice and until now they only provide IPv4 IPs. Full speed vdls (50/10), VOIP, 24,- EUR, no contract period. Router needs to be able to adjust a vlan tag (7). Might change in 2015 though... so a IPv6 solution is needed anyway in the long run...

Synology DSM Version : 5.1-5004 (2014/11/06)
change log:
...
17. Added IPv6 support for VPN client, Log Center, QuickConnect and DDNS.

Would be nice to get some kind of feedback on this. 

I am in Munich, Germany with m-net - there is a 5€/month option to get an IPv4 address, but I obviously have this rather fixed (for free ;) ) by plex... 

So, any update in the (near) future?

I'm also experiencing this. I need a way to publish my server via IPv6. If we had the ability to publish a domain with AAAA records, that would also be a viable workaround.

46

Same problem here from Unitymedia... Please fix it...  I already bought my lifetime pass...

47

I also require IPv6 connectivity. My ISP completely dropped my external IPv4 connectivity without warning, and now there's no way to stream my Plex media outside my home network. I have only an IPv6 external address. I can still connect out on IPv4, but nothing can initiate a connection in on IPv4. I am able to setup an IPv4 to IPv6 proxy outside my network, which works for connecting to other home servers.

here is another one in need for full IPv6-Support. Come on guys, this can't be that hard to implement.

The ISPs will not switch back to IPv4...and that's totally ok. You have to make Plex work with IPv6, not the other way around.

Push!

Same Problem here! :(

Same problem here.

I got ipv6 at home with a ds lite tunnel on Unitymedia. No Chance to change back to ipv4.

:(

Same here in Austria :frowning:


Gonna call UPC (Unity) today… I don’t think there will be a positive answere :frowning:


I hope PLEX can fix it (as a lifetime member) I really don’t wanna leave PLEX. trying to put it on a raspberry.


PLEX: If you can fix it… please please fix it!!!

52

I am also experiencing issues regarding lack of IPv6 support. The IPv4 connection between my house and the colo where my Plex-server is located is extremely unstable, but I have solid IPv6 between the two locations. However, this does not work for my mobile clients or using plex.tv.

We're now in 2015, IPv6 must have feature parity in most products and services.

53

The issue still persists... Would be really great to get at least some feedback from the plex team... lots of plex-pass users here... 

54

Yea, its been some time now and not a word by plex members at all about it :(

55

I asked them on twitter about it:

At least some info that they are aware and working on it.

57

Good that they are aware of the problem , hope it get fixed in this year.

I suffer to from the missing full dual stack support of unitymedia.

58

I not sure I am following this discussion but here are my thoughts

  1. If you are native IPv6 thn you don’t need an Portman of any sort to access an IPv6 server you just open a port on a firewall and it’s accessible - there is no NAT in IPv6

  2. Assuming MyPlex is acting as a directory service that points clients to servers and provides some level of ACLs around that access then in theory there is no reason that it could not do so for IPv6

  3. The problem arises when either the MyPlex cloud or the connecting client cannot speak IPv6 then you have a PMS address but no way to connect to it - IPv6 cannot speak to IPv4 and vice versa


    4 I thought DS-Lite was supposed to address the legacy side of things and you should be able to request a DS-Lite IPv4 Portmap to address the sort of double Nat that goes on - it has been a while since I looked at DS-lite specs but they were looking at extending UPNP to handle this


    5 Can you not request Dual Stack on your connection and get a real IPv4 rather than a shared one?

No, that’s the problem. On some providers you simply can’t. As long as my plex doesn’t support ipv6 there is no way to use plex on the go

Why doesn’t DSlite work?


If you go to what is my ipaddress website what IPv4 address do you see?


Is there a process from your ISO to perform a DSlite portmap?
