What DLNA player now that RasPlex is blocked?

Since yesterdays Plex backbone failure everybodies Rasplex box has been blocked from the service.
I’ve cancelled my sub so that my server doesn’t need to phone home to confirm extra facilities but that still didn’t let my Rasplex boxes connect inside my home network.

What DLNA images are people using on the Pi that lets them access their in-home media library?

Thanks

It has been reported that this will restore access at least to a local Plex server:
Had to set Secure Connections to disabled,
then manually enter a server IP address in RasPlex
and then sign out and sign back into Plex in RasPlex.

What are the security ramifications of this?

None, since you are accessing your own server on the same local network.

None, since you are accessing your own server on the same local network.

This is false. If you have remote access enabled then all remote connections will now be HTTP instead of HTTPS. i.e. unencrypted over the public internet. Plex does not provide a way to distinguish between local and remote connections.

For anyone else running into this issue, a new Rasplex image has been released alongside a fix for existing installs on Github; FIXED - No more access to plex server · Issue #645 · RasPlex/RasPlex · GitHub

Hey - so, if anyone is using OpenPHT on an arm/android box - here is the fix.

  1. SSH into your box using Putty from a computer - ‘root’ (username) ‘openpht’ (password)

  2. Copy and paste the following commands, and press enter with each…


cd …

cp -a /usr/share/XBMC/system/ /storage/system/

mount -o bind /storage/system/ /usr/share/XBMC/system/

cd /storage/system/

rm cacert.pem

wget https://nzbget.net/info/cacert.pem

echo “mount | grep -q /usr/share/XBMC/system || mount -o bind /storage/system/ /usr/share/XBMC/system/” >/storage/.config/autostart.sh


  1. Turn your server secure connection back to ‘required’. Everything should now work fine and secure

To fix on Windows:

  1. Download: https://nzbget.net/info/cacert.pem
  2. Use it to replace the file in: C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenPHT\system

This will allow you to still use secured connections.
