Plex is driving me mad the last 3 updates. I suddenly have constant issues with remote access. whether UPNP or with a forwarding I can access my server using my public ip and the forwarded port or the UPNP port. but the admin page says it’s not working. but clearly, it is.
in this image here I am connected to the plex dash with the public ip adn port that plex is listing as not working. if I hit retry it will say it’s working but reload the page and it’s not.
This is running on the server that runs other services, game servers, reverse proxy, etc and all of them work. So my issue is just plex. Plex is the only thing that runs on the host. every other service is running in hyper-v hosts. I have a modem bridged and linksys 1900acs and everything else seems fine.
anyone want to direct me to something to try? my external clients have issues where the play something for 20 mins then suddenly the server vanishes but reappears a few minutes later. I experienced this same issue on my LAN last night. suddenly my fire stick said the server isnt fast enough to play the media. try and play it again and I get “unable to play” then try again and get “server is not avalible” if I go select server it’s there but listed as indirect but selecting doesnt solve the issues. wait 30 secs and it goes direct again and I can carry on.
nothing in my setup has changed in the last 4 months. this behaviour has been happening to me the last 4 or so updates and it’s driving me mad.
