Is anyone having this problem.
I have no internet where my xbox one is, but i have a wireless network running from a time capsule so i have to use manual server input. I have plex on a laptop so the ip changes when i come and go. My problem is that when i change the manual ip in the plex app on the xbox it doesnt stick and reverts to a previous ip when i hit refresh. ie i enter 10.0.1.7, but it was previously on 10.0.1.4. It shows as having the new ip until i hit refresh in the app and then it reads 10.0.14 again. So i cannot login unless i manually set ip on my laptop which causes problems for other programs running on my laptop, as well as having to find what is using the ip iaddress i need for the laptop, and then getting a new ip for that device to ensure 2 devices arent trying to use the same ip. its a hassle.
So is this or was this a known problem that has been fixed in an update? I have to transport my xbox to another location to get internet access to update the app if it needs to get an updated app.
I dont know what version of the app is, but havent updated in many months. I know i havent given any real info or logs, but as I can generally get it working I never prioritize finding a solution. If anyone skimimng can has any info would appreciate any advice you have.
Setup a DHCP reservation for the Laptop in your Time Capsule settings.
From Airport Utility:
Click the Manual Setup
Click Internet
Click DHCP Tab
Click the + sign at bottom of DHCP Reservations
Two step process to add a reservation:
-
Enter Description
-
Enter MAC Address of the wireless interface of the laptop and enter the last octet of the IP Address you want the laptop to use whenever it connects to your home network.
When done click the Update button and let the Time Capsule reboot. Wait for it to come up and then reboot your laptop. Your laptop should then always get the same IP Address whenever it connects to your home WiFi network.
johnm_ColaSC,
Thank you so very much. I’ve been using Plex since day one when xbmc wasnt available on mac . Have got many friends into the ecosystem. Used to jailbreak my Atv2 to install, and then Plexconnect for my Atv3. Love the new app on Atv4. Lately just got XBMCNFO scraper working with an http server on my machine to serve actors images.So you can see I like to tinker and I love how I’ve always been able to find an answer to any problems I had already answered in the forums so I have never posted before. So thanks for answering my question so quickly. Its great to have such good mods. All the best.
