Infuse with Dockerized Plex

Streaming & Network
#1

Hello,

I am trying to connect Infuse (ATV, iOS) to Plex running in a Docker container.
The connection works fine without Docker, but not with it.

There’s an older post stating that it works with host networking but not with bridge. I’m not excited to change from bridge to host, so I’d like to get to the bottom of this, meaning what’s blocking the connection.

The situation is exactly as described in the older thread linked above, so after authenticating to Plex from Infuse app, it just cannot connect to it.

How is Infuse connecting to Plex?
What could be breaking the connection?

Plex app is working just fine, and I can reach Plex web interface on port 32400 with a browser in the same network as my Apple TV.

By chance, was the Plex server moved to Docker after it was added to Infuse?

Can you try using the ‘Connect to Plex’ option in Infuse to reauthenticate to see if this helps?

No, I set up completely separate instance of Plex to Docker and removed the instance from Infuse after I uninstalled the “working” one which was running directly on top of the OS.

I don’t have any Plex instances connected to Infuse. I have tried to authenticate many times but it just cannot connect to it.
