I tried testing a movie from my home server in plex through firefox and repeatedly got this message, even after reloading.
I knew that they had paywalled the apps on mobile and streaming from outside the network but now they have also blocked watching your own movies through your own hardware.
I do get the point that making software should be able to sustain people but I dont see the move of plex as a fair thing to do. Yes, they have made great software but taking your home server hostage feels like the wrong move.
Even a pop up that says "we need you to donate please" would have been fine. make it pop up before every movie, play donation ads before any movie but straight up disabling the app is kinda cruel.
Anyway, i have switched to jellyfin and it is insanely good. please give it a try. you can run it alongside plex with not issues (at least i had none) and compare the two.
In any case, good luck. Let me know if you need help.
How can you debug it with a TCP dump if it's encrypted?
You are doing the https unwrapping in tf/HA proxy. It's clear text between the proxy process and the JF server
You can do a dump off the entire network stream when it's working, install the release candidate and do another dump of the network stream with it not working. Sift through to find the changes.
When the person posted that there was a problem with the RC, It was probably a web socket being mishandled by the proxy due to some change. You can't just go oh there's a problem with my third party middleware. They're going to need to know which of their changes broke the problem. Why it breaks it, and what should be done instead if you expect them to make any kind of changes.
The alternative is you ask them to support traffic or HA or NPM, and on a volunteer project I could see that being a bridge too far
