Hello fellow plexers,
I’m using plex for a few years in a container, but I never got the chance to stop the error log involving the multicast discover packets.
I have disabled both GDM and DLNA still my logs keep spamming this error forever every other 10 seconds. My only opened port is 32400. I don’t need discovery nor DLNA.

I’m always up to date, using the latest plex version from linuxserver docker.
Is there a way to stop it?
Many thanks.
Found out firewall in openmediavault caused this.
For other if they stumble upon this here’s the fix:
Go to network>firewall
New rule > accept output , source IP (I put here my nas ip aka 192.168.1.151 and docker plex ip 172…) to destination ip 239.255.255.250 and port 1900. UDP protocol only
