Server doesn't load through app.plex.tv anymore

I’m having a weird problem hoping someone can help.

Since yesterday I can’t play videos reliably through app.plex.tv and not at all through chromecast or smart tv app.

Since then I updated my server OS as well Plex itself to the latest. But issue still persists.

When I go directly to http://{direct-server-ip}:32400 everything works fine. The only other thing I’ve been able to find is in the chrome console when I go to app.plex.tv.

I see connections being made to my server, but sometimes the ip is off. For instance:

Opening server event connection to my-server-name at wss://172.0.20.4.{somehash}.plex.direct:32400/:/websockets/notifications?X-Plex-Token=REDACTED

https://172-20-0-5.{somehash}.plex.direct:32400/media/providers?X-Plex-Product=Plex%20Web&X-Plex-Version=4.72.0&X-Plex-Client-Identifier=REDCATED&X-Plex-Platform=Chrome&X-Plex-Platform-Version=96.0&X-Plex-Sync-Version=2&X-Plex-Features=external-media%2Cindirect-media&X-Plex-Model=hosted&X-Plex-Device=Linux&X-Plex-Device-Name=Chrome&X-Plex-Device-Screen-Resolution=1308x1335%2C2560x1440&X-Plex-Token=REDACTED&X-Plex-Language=en-GB net::ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

Which is my local docker ip and it makes sense that’s not correct.

Sometimes it does show a correct ip in the plex.direct url: 142.xx.yy.zz.{somehash}.plex.direct and everything works fine.

Right now on the web ui it’s correct maybe 50% of the time and through chromecast it almost never works.

I also set the ADVERTISE_IP_ADDR env variable in the docker container but doesn’t make any difference.

Am I missing some configuration to have my server advertise my ip correctly? When I look in remote session settings everything seems correct.

Any help is appreciated

Would you please verify DEBUG logging is enabled, VERBOSE logging disabled.

Now recreate one of the playback problems.

Wait 20 seconds after stopping.

Download the server logs ZIP file

Attach please and we’ll review

Hi ChuckPa, thanks for your reply. These logs are from about 15 minutes trying to play and failing every time

In the chrome console I keep seeing connection timeouts

I started having this issue 30 minutes ago out of the blue.

Safari and Microsoft Edge both cannot connect. Plex App on my mac is fine. Plex app on my phone is fine. Plex app on my Apple TVs are fine.

My other laptop can access the website just fine.

Update: and now it’s fine again.

There was an outage at Plex.tv

Apologies, closed wrong thread.
