We have a number of reports from users of the Western Digital android MyCloud server which is still running an old version of Plex Media Server v1.18.6.2350-143d2e66b

There appears to be an issue with that old version and recent changes to security certificates

An update by Western Digital to the Plex Media Server version is expected to resolve this. I do not know when they will be doing this.

I will add your case to the ones already reported

A question: Does remote access to the server actually fail or is it just the status indicator on the server setting page that goes unavailable?

Are you able to access the server remotely ?

Could you send me privately in a private message the response you get from this request to your server

https://plex.tv/pms/resources.xml?includeHttps=1&includeRelay=1&X-Plex-Token=xxxxx

Instead of the xxxxx put in your server token - to find out what that is see

Please copy the response you get back into a text file and then zip and attach in your private message to me

The issue with certificates for the old versions of Plex Media Server affecting remote access - as in the case for the Western Digital Android OS NAS should be resolved now by getting a new certificate issued.

If you are running with Secure Connections enabled and you are still running with the incompatible certificate, then I could get that old certificate revoked and a new one issued

You could also get it replaced by disabling secure connections and then restarting the server and then enabling secure connections again and restarting the server. A new certificate should be issued

If you are running with secure connections disabled, then re-enabling it should get a new certificate
