Its not a local connection if you're getting this message. You might be in the same network, but for some reason it's not connecting directly.
Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!

You’re assuming something that you just cant. I run this network alongside 5 others, some of them professional, for years. My configuration is standard and i’m using the software the same way i did for years.
If plex redirects my call to their server, that is their problem, not mine. I dont care what their inner workings are. I use a local address and this has happened for the first time.
Is it possible that it is an honest mistake on the side of plex? Yes.
That does not absolve them from the end result.

It isn’t hitting it locally is the issue. Not an uncommon problem with plex unfortunately, its going out to come back in, so the server and client see it as remote.
Without playback you wouldn’t even be able to see that in the dashboard, which just makes the direction Plex is going so much more problematic.
Like I said, better off using JF.

Yeah, i assume it isnt. It got pointed out a couple times that it is a plex configuration problem which plex doesnt point out either btw.
In any case, thanks for helping and participating. Have a good one. :)
