Using iRule to control Rasplex via IP

@dbs179 Thanks for the intel! Did you mean you attempted to telnet into unraid/rasplex using these ports? Or did you meant that the control signal is sent over these ports?

It looks like port 3005 is the way to go :slight_smile:

Hm disabling my firewall didnt solve it unfortantly. Really thought i had the problem there!

In another forum post someone attended me to the button on the plex web app forums.plex.tv/discussion/222129/web-http-ip-webui#latest As noted there.

Are you capable to select your player there?

I meant that I tried to telnet into my unraid and rasplex using those ports. As you can see from the results, most of them failed to connect, which I sort of expected, but wanted to give you what I am seeing on a system that is working.

Yes, if I open the plex/web/app page in firefox (my normal browser) I see the remote control button and my RasPlex listed there. I haven’t ever tried to control it, from there but it is listed.

I know this is an old thread, but I had stopped updating Plex for a while and finally caught up on my updates. When I did, my iRule controls were broken. These were using HTTP get commands.

To test, when I went to http://10.xxx.xxx.xxx:32400/system/players/10.0.10.10/navigation/MoveUp I was getting a 401 unauthorized error.

I needed to go into the plex server -> settings -> network -> Show Advanced

Second to lest setting: “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth”

This setting must have been new to me when I brought my way out of date server current, because the field was blank. I added my whole local subnet 10.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 and ta-da, I was off to the races.

borsaid,

My HTTP Controls had stopped working again, I came back to this thread and saw your comment. Sure enough once I added in my home IP range HTTP Controls are back up and running!!! Thanks for the information.
