This no reason for concern. Plex is trying to find all DLNA and UPnP capable devices on the local network and query them about their abilities. It wil also try to query gateway devices about the public IP address.
Many devices will not answer or won’t answer in a way which Plex understands. This is what you are seeing here.
Incidentally, I can see something else in your log:
you are running Plex as a system service. If you add the command line parameter -noninteractive, the Shell_NotifyIcon warnings will not appear anymore.
OttoKerner, please excuse me if this comes off aggressive or offensive, but considering this is the answer you continue to give even after ChuckPA has done some investigation and came up empty handed actually addressing the issue being asked, I believe your answer deserves addressing directly.
I believe you are missing the point, and your response is not applicable to the questions being asked. The questions being asked is not about misunderstanding the error messages. Folks are telling you they understand the error message and assert no device exists on the network(s) with that IP address, and thus are curious why attempts are being made to ping an ip address that is not in use or assigned. I can tell you that in my case the ip address in question is not even in the DHCP range of IP’s being issued, 99% of my network is static so I can keep track of what’s what. No help has so far been offered after ChuckPA’s efforts towards posters asking for help in either asserting that as a true statement, or otherwise dispelling that assertion and realizing the device in question using the IP address.
so it does exist on his network.
Sorry, I missed to look up to the first post of this thread. Then I would have seen that yours is probably a different issue.
Thank you very much for the hint to use the -noninteractive parameter. all warnings for Shell_NotifyIcon are gone now.
Is there maybe any chance of getting rid of those GET queries to 192.168.0.138 by adjusting other settings?
I’ve attached a screenhot of the current logfile and I highlighted all errors. Is there anything else I can tweak to avoid those errors in the logfiles?
But as I already mentioned, I want to point out that Plex runs very well and this is only because I am interested in how it works. Currently I do not have any issues with it.
