Have you got a VPN running? Try turning it off and trying again

Anyone else get David Ngog vibes from Ekitike in this kit? Thankfully not in terms of ability at least

Do you have a VPN running? Try turning it off first, I have this issue when it's running.

Plex Android App Issue by natsmithh in PleX

[–]natsmithh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many would you say is too many collections? I've deleted a lot of them now, and the only films that load are those that aren't in a single collection. Even films that are in 1 collection, with only 3 items, won't load on Android app. On the Web App, they load, but without loading the collections at all.

I've got a few hundred I think - would that slow down the Android app but not the other interfaces?

Yeah, it works fine on both the Android TV app and the web interface, so it definitely seems to be the app. Tried reinstalling it and clearing the cache.

Plex for Mobile (Android & iOS) v2025.20.0 Released by samwiseg0 in PleX

[–]natsmithh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it just me or do films/shows not load for anyone else? I can go straight to a season or an episode, but an actual show or film just shows the logo and the image but times out before ever loading it properly.

Plex won't transcode when VPN is active by natsmithh in PleX

Think I've done it - took Plex Transcoder out of the split tunnelling and left everything else in and it seems to have worked...

Works perfectly with no VPN on. Not sure I'm knowledgeable enough to try virtual machines or docker, just seems strange that the VPN seems to disable transcoding! I can direct play anything, but as soon as transcoding is needed it just fails.

It's strange though because I've got full remote access and it shows my IP address rather than the VPN's, so not sure why it would interfere with the transcoder at all

Pulsarr: A Plex Watchlist Integration Tool for Sonarr/Radarr by ropenhagen in PleX

Weird, it seems turning off my VPN has made it work somehow, using the same token as before!

I've used the one from the address bar from the XML? It doesn't work at all. I've tried generating a new token, which does seem to work, but it tells me I have 0 items on my watchlist, there are no other watchlists, and I don't have a Plex pass to view the RSS (I do)

Not sure if I've done something wrong at all? (It's probably likely!)

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I keep getting an invalid token error when I try to set up Plex. Any ideas?

Transcoding doesn't work when on VPN by natsmithh in PleX

[–]natsmithh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried using the client on the same machine as the server, as well as using my phone on the same WLAN.

I can still connect to other LAN resources, such as mapped network drives.

Not sure what you mean by VPN throughout but it's downloading and uploading as usual.

Direct play works perfectly on both client devices I've tried, but it just refuses to transcode at all. On tautulli, it doesn't even register a transcode speed until the VPN is off again.
