Plex, Remote Access IP Different To Node/Server IP?

[panzerscope]

Hey guys.

Curious issue. I have my Plex Apps Node IP set to 192.168.1.100, furthermore in my TrueCharts Plex App settings, I have set the Plex Server IP to 192.168.1.100

However inside the Plex app, the Remote Access is pointing to the incorrect IP of 172.16.111.133 for my local address (private) , as per the below image.

Is there another way to adjust it so that Plex so far as the remote access is using the local IP of 192.168.1.100 as all my port forwarding is set to that IP. Never had this issue where Plex has decided to go against the Node IP/Server IP settings before.

Any help appreciated.

Regards,
P

I'm having this same issue. Running TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.2 with the 1.31.1.673_13.0.8 version of the TrueCharts Plex app.

I can confirm this is still an issue is their a way to the change ip via CLI or environment variable.

I suggest adding the additoinal environment variable:
ADVERTISE_IP This variable defines the additional IPs on which the server may be found. For example: http://10.1.1.23:32400. This adds to the list where the server advertises that it can be found. This is only needed in Bridge Networking.

I can also configrm this is still an issue.

Also the Advertise_IP variable is set

Aslo set in the Plex app and still no remote connection without first opening the port manually on my router even though it
supports UPnP and other devices are making use of it.

The example seems to not have the trailing slash as you do, but that's a long shot.

I just saw that, but in the bridged network example it has the trailing slash. Will have to wait till tomorrow to remove it and see if it
changes the behaviour.

Also, you're saying it works when you manually forward the port on the router? (so why wouldn't you just do that and be done with it?)

 

[MadMungo]

Yes I am. Just making note that it seems UPnP is not working due to the container IP being set as the private IP.

Hi,

Do you guy have any update on this topic?

Thank you!

nvm fixed it via, enabling host networking in the truecharts app under advanced. Also selected the correct network interface in plex under networking and defined the lan ip range eg 192.168.1.1/24

I'm sorry to bring up this old topic, but I'm having this problem right now.

I set the IP as indicated by mr fr34ky but it doesn't work.
