Hi, please read the documentation before posting: https://homarr.dev/docs/widgets/media-server#common-issues

Make sure that all of those points do not apply.

if I set it to secure connections, I can't access the server using the lan IP only web, and if there's a problem with the web connection I have to stop the dock and manually edit the config file I went through that about 4 times last time I posted about this issue and was linked there it is none of those things is my network subnet 255.255.xxx?

None of those things? But your URL ends with /web It should end with the port, not /, /web nor /web/index.html

You are asking so many questions, I loose track of the overview I don't see what you mean. Perhaps it shows the versions that we publish? There must be. I don't know TrueNas, but you should check out the log Can you also ensure that you configured your Plex app correctly in Homarr?

the log is just all this

Then you probably didn't configure a Plex app at all
paradox
paradox•2y ago
where do you do that? because I've looked through the options and I don't see anything about plex I'm telling you, I saw something on the now playing window once whe n I was watching something I don't know what caused it to go away but it worked very briefly apparently

Can you screenshot your Plex app configuration?
paradox
paradox•2y ago
from where plex configuration in homarr, in the plex docker, in the plex settings?

So?

the only change I made was enforcing secure connections, it seems like it took a while for it to show up, but I guess it's working now? although it shouldn't say anonymous user but I can live with that.

Sometimes, Plex doesn't expose any information about the user. So we just call them anonymous Plex's API is stupid 😂
paradox
paradox•2y ago
could it be because it's the owner account of the server and it's a security/privacy thing? i'll get someone to play something

Maybe. We haven't identified the actual cause, we just know that users reported it SHRUG

Interesting

might help narrow down the cause

Well... As mentioned, it's a problem of Plex. Jellyfin's API is sooo much better. We'll add controls on the widget, which won't even work on Plex. Probably. You can try to investigate yourself, to check what's exactly changing on the API

Unfortunately I started with plex years ago and got a lifetime pass and I'm just kinda invested in it too much to switch to something else ;-;
Manicraft1001
Manicraft1001•2y ago
Well, that's up to you. Everyone has their preferences. I like Jellyfin more, but it's understandable if you like Plex more 😄 Anyhow, feel free to investigate on your own. I sadly do not have time to do that Really busy :/
