Using the latest PMS - once again remote access has been a bit of a pain for about the last 20 minutes. Playing tracks via Sonos is intermittent, frequently coming up can’t connect to Plex, and then when trying to browse it as a media source getting either “Unable to browse music” or “Unable to con…

[image] Insomnic_1: When I hit Apply it took only a few moments. Yes, when Atomatth had me trying IPv4 Only that is what I experienced too the first two presses of “Apply.” The third try is when it went bad again, as it is now. I get what Atomatth is saying about spamming, so I’m trying to go…

Server restarted. I have not hit the “Apply” button yet, except the first time to get my server into this situation, which I expected. I can reach the server locally and am seeing this still: [image] I cannot reach the server remotely now, which is different than the first part of my experience t…

I don’t know what you all are talking about with logs and stuff. Mine still does not connect. When try to refresh the wheel spins.

[image] JohnAlex: My server is still stable. This is more for Plex than users facing the issue. The same issue I had. Still running without problems since the changes I made (even if coincidence). Remote access has a green tick and IPs are listed as contacted and active (private and public)…

[image] JohnAlex: Edit - things are definately more stable using my ISP DNS or even Cloudflare (IPV4 and IPV6). If I switch to Google DNS I get issues. Thanks for calling this out. That was my suspicion too. Now that our issues should be resolved, I was thinking that most “new” issues would …

Hi, I’m experiencing a Remote Access issue with Plex Media Server 1.43.3.10896 running natively on a Synology DS920+. Plex Remote Access shows “Fully accessible outside your network”, but both the private and public IP are displayed as “Unknown IP”. Remote clients on mobile data see the server as …

Remote Access (again) seems to be problematic

Plex Media Server Remote Access

Dead for me as well, none of my family can access it, nor can I. Unknown IP on remote access page. If anyone wants logs from me do tell. This happened right after I updated Plex so no idea if it’s a coincidence.
