Oh funny, sorry. The screenshot looked “right enough”.
Are you familiar with how reverse proxies will “obscure” the original IP address of a client? By default every request will appear to come from the IP address of the reverse proxy now.
I know that Plex will use the X-Forwarded-For header in most places, and can display original client IP addresses correctly. I think NGINX adds that header by default - if not, make sure it is doing so.
What I’m not sure about is if Plex will use X-Forwarded-For when matching internal/LAN clients, or if Plex clients will recognize that it’s local and choose Direct Streaming themselves.
It’s possible that the Plex client will only recognize it as local if it’s on the same network as the client.
I haven’t investigated deeply. There are a few other threads on the topic.
