Remote Access from multiple devices

Plex Lifetime Subscription Member

With the last few versions of the IOS app and Google TV app, I’m constantly losing the ability to see my Plex Library outside of my home. I have forwarding working properly (30 year network engineer) and can confirm it works for others on apple TV with no issue.

IOS App: over the past 2-3 months, the releases of IOS app have removed my ability to see Live TV, and now as of the latest update I cannot see my Plex Libraries at all. This previously worked fine and I used it often. Now it says my libraries are offline and attempts to reconnect fail.

Google TV: Plex only can see my libraries after rebooting the television. If I walk away, TV goes to sleep and I come back, my libraries are disconnected. The only way to fix it is to reboot the TV.

I’d really like to understand what is going on with this ecosystem.
