In order to use this feature and access Plex remotely, the first thing we have to do is enable it.
Plex remote access not working series#
You have to follow a series of steps that we are going to show. We will not have to pay anything additional and it is an option that undoubtedly expands the possibilities of only limiting ourselves to having access from the local network. This function will allow us connect to our Plex server from anywheresimply by having access to the Internet. : while writing this i tried to disable bandwith limiting on the Plexserver (under remote access) and now it works….argh maybe this also temporary helps you but i think it is still thats needs to be resolved.How to configure Plex to enter from the Internet Streaming Resource: Bandwidth exceeded: 2147483647 kbps > 40000 kbps Monitoring the Network Connections Out of the Sonos Speaker and into my Plexserver while keeping an eye on the Plex Logs i can see that the requests are incoming from an external IP (not directly form the Sonos speaker) and they always get an Error If i use the Plex native Apps it automatically connects to the Server and is streaming the Media directly from the Server. So if i use the Sonos App, the Speaker tries to connect to my Plex Server. It is strange, that the Sonos speakes do not even try to resolve my plex domain (or any others by the way). While using the native Plex Apps the playback works fine but as soon as i switch to the Sonos App, things don´t work anymore.įirst i thought it must be something with my network setup (plex is behind a reverse proxy), but now i think it must be something with sonos app and the handling of the internal IPs/Ports or the DNS inside (or outside) of the App. I can confirm this with exactly the same result, but a little different setup. I’ve not yet found the answer to this one. I’ve even gone to the lengths of factory resetting one of my NAS boxes and reinstalling all. That’s using the iPad/iPhone S2 controller App. Just the Plex service built into Sonos doesn’t seem to want to work for me. The tracks are part of a local shared library on the NAS and I can play them, no problem via the library shared folders in the Sonos App (SMB protocol). I can goto the same tracks on the Plex App and they work no problem and can even use the ‘connect’ sharing (API option) to play the track from the Plex App to the same Sonos speaker and that works fine too. So all works fine with the Plex native App - the Plex service built-in to the Sonos App sees the server plex folders and the tracks and Artwork it even loads the tracks into the room queue, but then I get the message that the connection was lost. TCP port 32469 for the Plex DLNA Server.TCP port 8324 for Roku via Plex Companion.TCP port 32400 for the Plex Media Server.Even tried automatic port selection via UPnP.Įven tried forwarding all these ports to the NAS IP address (in my case there are two available Plex servers (192.168.7.120 and 192.168.7.220). I have forwarded the usual 32400 TCP port, or as an alternative have manually set my own port forwarding - with no joy. My plex-pass is still valid until January 2022, but I’ve cancelled its renewal. I can access my server(s) using the Plex App only both locally and remotely. There is no issue with either S1 or S2 in connecting to a local Plex server. Note that this is only an issue with connections to a remote Plex server. This is not a workaround, however, because apart from the security issues it presents, it also breaks remote access from all other Plex clients, which require a secure connection. This hints at a problem at the Sonos end, in making secure connections to Plex … but it could be an issue at the Plex end, or a mixture of the two. The issue can be fixed by setting ‘Network > Secure connections’ to ‘Disabled’ on the Plex Server. When one attempts to play the item(s), playback will immediately fail with ‘the connection to Plex was lost’.The Plex server content can be searched from the Sonos apps, and items can be added to the queue without problems.The problem may also apply to Sonos S2, but I haven’t tested this. I’d be grateful if this issue could be raised with Sonos support.įor several months now my Sonos S1 system has been unable to play content from my remote Plex server.
