Plex clients require central authentication. They don't work without logging in. So it's reasonably trivial for them to add a check in the loop that says "if hetzner then abort".



AFAIK they do work locally without central authentication if you set up the correct IP masks for the clients.


It takes a registry hack for the server and I couldn’t figure out how to make a PS5 client work without signing in.

It’s bloated garbage compared to Emby and Jellyfin.

Just set the IP address/netmask and that’s it.

This is at the server level.


You can’t get to those settings without logging in unless you change a registry entry (assuming Windows for the server).
