Why doesn't plex use X-Real-IP or X-Forwarded-For headers?

Clearly some bug or something so the hope is that this thread brings back attention to this. Plex should under no circumstance pick connecting IP over headers. The headers, even if not standard, are de-facto used by the industry as a best practice and every single modern client/server implementation that I know of implements them properly (except plex).

I will try to set yet another reverse proxy in the same machine as Plex to see if that fixes my problem. This is however something that should just work, I shouldn’t need to be setting up unnecessary proxies to work around something as simple as this.

Maybe my scripts fail for a different reason but one HUGE annoyance is not being able to see the client IP in tautulli which is another very real problem for me.
