I like to keep the file size for 140 minutes of video between 3GB and 6GB for all 1080p movies. We will come back to profiles later when we need to add oneįor me the HD-1080p profile is fine but I need to tweak the file sizes a bit. Here you will have to decide whether the in-built profiles are suitable for your needs or if you will need to create a new profile.

I have updated this guide to correct my mistake.In this post we will go through everything you need to do to get Radarr up and running and integrated with your Plex Media Server on Windowsįirst of all what is Radarr and how can it help you? Radarr provides a means of automatically passing file index information (Torrent websites) to your download client (such as Utorrent) and then performing actions on the downloaded files. I originally made the mistake of using CIDR notation since that is what firewalls such as OPNsense prefer to use. You need to ensure you use the subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 rather than the CIDR notation of /16 after the IP address. You could enter your entire local network range or just specific devices separated by commas in the “List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth” box. The Solutionįortunately, Plex has a setting to allow the network addresses you specify to access Plex without authorization on the “Settings > Network” page. It was very frustrating to not to be able to log into my server on my own network when the Internet was down. Being on the local network does not matter. Even if you are already signed into Plex on your devices, you still cannot access your Plex server. However, there is a tradeoff – it requires an Internet connection. The login experience is seamless regardless of where you sign in.

When you create a Plex account, it makes it easy to login to your server both inside and outside of your home network. I began Googling about the issue and after some searching, I found the solution. I tried restarting Plex and still nothing. I then tried to access the web interface and the same thing happened. Imagine my dismay when my Internet was down in my neighborhood and receiving an error accessing Plex on the Apple TV. Being in control of your own data increases privacy. With self hosting, you do not need to rely on the Internet and cloud services. I have been running Plex Media Server for quite a few years and enjoy self hosting all of my family’s media files.
