Unable to invite friends to share my library

Hi all! New here!

So, I’m trying to invite friends to share my library, but unfortunately, when I go into settings to change the remote access setting, it does not stay turned on, and turns off almost instantly. How do I fix this, please?

Also, are friends an;e to access the library through tab;ets alone via the app? They should not need to have a server or anything but an account, correct?

Thanks in advance!

Wow. Zero people can help? Is there anywhere I can go to look up more info about this, please? I’ll happily read and try things, but a nod in the right direction would be super helpful. Thanks.

Hi.
Yeah they will only need a Plex account.

Going back to remote access issue what OS is your Plex server running on?
You also will probably need a port forward setting up on your router.
I’m on mobile so it’s difficult to link to but there is plenty of help withhow to do this in the user guides.
Ha
Have a read and especially scroll through to the section on remote access.

Thanks! I will give this a try!

I am running Windows 10, btw. I have McAfee, but I’ve made an exception for Plex. I also have a VPN, but have tried it off and on, to no effect.

I suspect I may have to port forward. I may also have a double NAT, but I’m unsure as to how to get rid of that and fix the setting.

Yeah double nat is something I have never had to deal with.
Its specifically mentioned here.
