Remote access randomly qiuts

Random access works initially but randomly stops working. I restart random access via server settings and it works fine until it stops randomly again. Is there any way to keep random access on all the time and prevent random access shutdown/automatically restart random access if it goes down?

2 ways remote access works


Upnp which is unstable and requires no user config

Port forwarding which is stable but requires user config.

Have you setup port forwarding?

I have never received or seen a meaningful answer to this question. The random “Remote Access” disconnects still happen strangely in seeming clusters (e.g. lots last night and continuing today but was stable for weeks before this). Manually specifying a port has NEVER worked but if you do that, then toggle back to random it quite often works 
 but of course now you get a new random port specified in your port forwarding section of your router config. I just did this myself 2 minutes ago because my server randomly became unavailable again 3 minutes ago 


This isn’t something that only you guys are experiencing. This is now a well known problem with the last few PMS updates
 we are all waiting for the Plex team to actually get remote access working properly. See just some of the other threads that all describe the same underlying issue recently:

We are all hoping that the Plex team will actually sort this out and release an update so we can continue to use the Plex service properly
