Secure connection not working after last update

@jester7677

When you install, yes I do mean to also start it.

The nice thing about PMS is:

  1. When the server is on your local LAN (it is)
  2. And your LAN is RFC-1918 compliant (which yours also is)
  3. You can set it up with Plex/Web from your PC or on the shield. The server on the shield can be accessed just like a server on a NAS… both are appliances in that regard

Now I can’t access the server settings anymore. The two libraries I re-setup lay night are still available, but I can’t get to the server settings to add other libraries.

@thompsondc

Stop the server.
Make a tar.gz of the logs and attach it please

PMS-Logs.tar.gz (7.1 MB)

@thompsondc

Wow. your machine is so active there is nothing remaining from the startup.

When it is next idle (or can be stopped):

  1. Stop it.
  2. Restart
  3. Two minutes after restart, grab a new ZIP set
  4. Attach it.

I am seeing this machine as very loaded up

3200 passmarks (the i7 960)
intro detection and new media ?

great, i am OK, Thanks

Hi Chuckpa, are you able to reset my cert too please?

@ChuckPA I have the same issue as all those users. What do I need to do?

Ports are correctly forwarded and have been for literally years.

I get this in the logs when shared users try to connect: CERT: incomplete TLS handshake: sslv3 alert certificate unknown

  1. stopped
  2. restarted
  3. two mins later created file
  4. here it is: PMS-Logs.tar.gz (6.6 MB)

Yes, doing what you said before recreated a new server, which I added two libraries to: Movies & TV Shows. I have a lot so it scraped them all. I was going to add Music (also a lot), but can’t.

@thompsondc

You are no longer having any of the issues here.

Between the processor and the OS, PMS is timing out while trying to perform its normal tasks.

This CPU, while dated, has about the same passmark score as NAS CPUs which are able to run PMS properly.

Therefore, I conclude, which is often the case, Mint is the problem.
In all other cases where Mint systems have had inexplicable problems, installing clean Ubuntu or Debian immediately resolved those problems.

Thus, I cannot continue to provide support for this OS because it is not supported.

Honestly, that feels a bit defeatist. Everything was running perfectly fine on this machine, mint, etc… Until I installed PMS 1.20.2.3402. Additionally, nothing else has gone wrong with the machine or OS.
I know it’s an old CPU, which is why I’ve been waiting until we have another drive too move to our new QNAP TS-453D. We only have one 12TB storage drive, so I need another to put in the NAS, to let it format for itself. Then, copy all the data to it, and then format the original drive to be a raid 1 copy.
But, like I said, it’s not happening until Xmas. I think we can live without the other libraries until then.
Thanks for everything. I know you guys work hard, and spend 99% of your time on complaints (90% of which are from ungrateful users).

In a way, this instance of the server has been defeated. There is nothing I can effect from here to make it work.

The only thing I can suggest now is:

  1. stop PMS
  2. cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver
  3. rename Library to Library.keep (to save your watch history)
  4. go to app.plex.tv and sign out of the web desktop
  5. start PMS
  6. Open 127.0.0.1:32400/web
  7. Have it discover a new server
  8. Be Absolutely Certain to give it a different Friendly Name than the previous server instance
  9. Now continue your setting it up
  10. While it is processing your media,
  11. Go to each of your player devices and repin them to this new Friendly Name.
  12. After everything is matched and all processing complete,
  13. Your previous watch history can be exported from the old DB and imported here.

should you need space

If there is insufficient space in /var/lib to hold both instances, be certain to copy the Databases directory and Preferences.xml to a safe place .

I shut down my server for one night, but after that I still have same problem. Should I have to wait more? Other things to do?

I let the server off many days and it’s still not OK. Please help.

After reinstall on TrueNAS, Plex allows the connection (secured) and after roughly 30 minutes all stops with The server “” does not allow secure connections. This happens from the same network and the logs don’t indicate anything. Tried reinstall, deleting previous servers, etc. Pls help

Edit: For some reason the port needed to be change on my host side. Strange.

Wasn’t related for me nvm

I’m having the same/similar issue after migrating my windows server to a linux docker. I suspect a certificate issue so if mine could be reset too I’d really appreciate it. I’m guessing it’s trying to point to the old server on a separate IP which is now removed. Thanks!

Edit: Not sure if anyone’s done anything but all connections seem secure now.

Apologies for being another me-too post here, but I’m having the same issue. I can only connect to Plex running on a QNAP via insecure connections. Secure used to work until past month or so.

hey Chuck, sorry to pile on, but i understand that people having the same problem as myself have pinged you here and you reset their certificate so https works again?

happened to me some time in the last 3 months also. i went trough all the comments and i also can’t find the certificate stored on my server.

i’m running TrueNAS 12 and have checked the entire network multiple times in the past months. i’ll really appreciate any help

@matijarma

Restart the server.
Certificate reset.

If this does not resolve, logs will be needed
