My local Plex Media Server running on Arch Linux appears in all of my local devices as a remote server. My local devices are two Raspberry Pi's running RasPlex, and various wired and wifi computers running the web client. In the web client, my local library shows as "remote" instead of "nearby":
and on the RasPlex devices I have to set the "remote" bandwidth to "Direct Play" or they request transcoding.
I've read through this thread: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/219522/local-plex-server-showing-as-remote and double-checked to make sure that plex.direct DNS lookups are working properly. DNS rebinding doesn't apply to me because I have a "real" home network address (199.85.99.0); I'm not using RFC1918 space. I wonder if that's the problem? Do the clients check for "device on the same subnet" or are they actually checking for RFC1918 addresses?
I've configured Plex Media Server to treat my entire network as "local" using "199.85.99.0/255.255.255.0" but that hasn't helped.
I'm not sure where to go from here - any assistance would be appreciated!
