My remote settings always going back to default. Manually specify public port is always setting itself back to 32400 and my internet upload speed is always swtiching back to the old setting.
Can you please explain a bit more what you mean?
Do you mean that the Manually Specified Port reverts back to 32400 or something else?
When does this occur? At Restart? Randomly? Specific intervals?
I am running the Plex Server in a Linuxmint envrioment using the latest Plex Updates. The Remote Access settings reverts back to 32400 right after I save the settings and restart the computer.
Please open a terminal window
- Stop Plex
sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver- Start Plex
- Setup Remote Access & retest.
- Please let me know the outcome.
Thank you! That worked like a charm! I have added the command line to my notes. 
I’m glad it worked.
Now for my caution.
Linux is strict about file ownership and assigned permissions.
In this case, something changed the ownership. User plex should be the only username in those files & directories.
Linux Mint has a history of ‘burping’. There have been many who’ve tried it and been forced, due to various instabilities, to move to Ubuntu or Debian. While it may be a derivative, it is a derivative and hence different somewhere which does surface for different folks in different ways.
Should you experience more ‘weirdness’, I would recommend you consider moving to Ubuntu or Debian which are officially supported distributions.
