[Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server

Clicking "Check for updates" on the Docker page don't find any updates.

The check for updates button does not work in 6.1.x, you need to click advanced view and then force update.

The check for updates button works on 6.2.

 

Thanks but it doesn't seems to do anything.

Here is what I obtain

Did I missed something?

Does not look like it, no idea then.

Hopefully someone other can take a look

Ok, thanks for the help Bjonness406.

I don't know if it's related but I don't see the 6.2 update either.

In the plugin page, clicking "Check updates" doesn't find any updates.

I just moved to a new house and changed my ISP at the same time; I don't know if that can make a difference...

Or is it some kind of network setting that I did wrong?

You could try to change your dns server to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

I tried it without any success.

Here is my default network config:

My router is setup to always assign the same ip address to my unRAID server

 

Thanks again for the help!

Set Obtain dns server address automatically to "no", and dns server 1 to "8.8.8.8" and dns server 2 to "8.8.4.4" and try again to update your plugins and plex

I have a question but it's not strictly related to the docker itself? Hope it's not too off-topic...

 

When Plex docker network is configured as Bridge Plex takes a docker network IP in a range that is obviously different from the hosting unRAID one - e.g. the home network is 192.168.1.* and Plex is under 172.17.0.*.

Although mapping the Plex port exposes the server to the home network Plex Server keeps the internal IP as a reference.

 

Now everything seems to be working OK until you want to verify how close your Plex server is: if I'm under the home network I would expect the server to be considered nearby - same local network (that's an info you see if you have an iOS app and check what server you're connected to). Unfortunately the server is labeled as remote and not nearby. This screws up with the way content is served - direct play, profiles, etc...

 

Any suggestion on this? Has this problem been considered before?

Hi!

 

I have been using plex for more than a year now.

I noticed in my routers logs blocking access for a few android devices with plex app installed trying to connect to a bogon IP address. I found this address also in Plex docker.

 

Does anyone have any idea what is going on?

The weird thing is that the android devices are looking for 172.17.0.1 outside my lan in the internet.

 

I googled before posting and the only think related (I think) is this

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same. An interface configuration for mDNS group on 172.17.0.1 during the startup and subsequent calls to the 172.* range when using the local web (browser) interface.

 

Now this could also be the reason behind the local web interface being perceivable slower than when accessing via plex.tv.

 

I'll try to do a further analysis this weekend but does anybody have any ideas?

Don't know what the rest of that sentence was supposed to be.

 

The docker screenshot you posted is assuming that you have a user share named Media, and that user share contains everything you want plex to access. Do you have a user share named Media?

Also remember Linux is case sensitive.
