I’ve been trying to add a user to my server that is not on my server.
When I try and add them, at the last step before I get the link to give the user I get the error, “Failed to send invite.”
I’ve tried this from an incognito window accessing plex.tv directly and not using any server URL.
I’m under 100 users that I’m sharing to and I’m able to add a random email address from a catchall domain I use.
The only issue I can think of is I previously tried to add this user over a year ago and I don’t think they accepted my invitation at the time and I revoked it.
Now I can’t add them back for the life of me and they report they don’t see my invitation in their Users/Sharing section of Plex.tv.
I can give server specifics if needed, but this feels like an account issue based on my research through the forums.
So were some people allowed more than 100, or were they grandfathered in? I read on Facebook about guys having over the 100 friends mark on several diff posts. I coach high school hoops and was going to share with my players.
Plex made the change a while back and there may be some people out there that managed to get over the threshold before the change was made. In that event Plex isn’t going to force them back down to the limit by arbitrarily removing people from their server, but if they remove someone they are not going to be able to add them back until they are under the 100 limit. I hope that makes sense. It may be possible to talk to Plex and get an exemption, but I’m certain they are very picky for that as the software is not and has never been meant for any kind of commercial use, and use cases that aren’t commercial and require more than 100 slots are certainly far and few between.
