If you map all the ports that is needed for Plex it works. You don't need plexpass to access Plex in bridge mode. This seems to be a good case for an environment-variable / standard-value, doesn't it? I dont know if 0.0.0.0/0 does work, this would turn off this stupid plex-pass-enforcement alltogether.

However if you set the 'List of IP addresses and networks that do not require authentication' (might not be original-text-label translated from german) in the options menu under Server > Settings > Network to the standard private network classes (10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16) you can also browse it from your private network with 'Network Type' set to 'Bridge' so that the internal Docker-Network is used. What the hell do I do? I really don't want to lose all my metadata.Īlso: this appears to be a fairly common problem with the Shield.I assume 'Network Type' in the docker-template is standard on 'Host' because otherwise plex would deny browsing the webinterface without plexpass. The problem I've had in the past is that when I've tried to reinstall the old data in the past, it apparently has also transferred whatever errors were corrupting the database and I've had to start all over. I've meticulously backed up the database every few days for months and am constantly optimizing and clearing bundles. I have almost 12TB of content and thousands of custom artwork thumbnails and descriptions and the idea of starting all that again from scratch gives me heart palpitations. I really, really, reeeeaaaallllly do not want to have to do that again. This has happened twice before and both times, I was forced to start from scratch by wiping both Plex and the Shield. When I check the storage space, it's still configured (correctly) to the external drive and the drive itself appears to be working fine. The server still reads as 'stopped' and will not start running.

None of the regular suggestions have worked. Tried ejecting and reconnecting the external drive. I tried to get it running, and it would not, and hasn't since. I went into the setting and the server was 'stopped'. This weekend, I was starting to play a video and I got the spinner for several minutes straight. Plex and data is stored on an external drive. I have a PMS running on a Nvidia Shield Pro.
