After more than a year of troubleshooting on and off, I managed to get the Plex app on the PS5 to connect to the Plex Media Server hosted on my DietPi.
I do have Jellyfin running on the Amazon Fire TV Stick (4K Max), but on the Sony PS5, the only option I have is Plex. The first I tried it, Plex was able to see Plex Media Server installed on the DietPi, but it just won't connect to it.
Fast-forward to today. I thought maybe after a year, whatever bug would've been fixed, so I gave it another shot.
Installation on the DietPi is pretty straightforward. Select application from the list, install, and done. Linking the Plex app to the Plex Media Server is just a matter of logging in and typing in the link code provided.
The PS5 Plex app is able to see the Plex server, the server is able to see the PS5 as a client. However, the PS5 is reporting the Plex server us unavailable / unreachable. They're on the same wired network with no firewall in between. Same problem as before.
Looked into a lot of forum posts, people talk about:
- DNS rebinding
- domain whitelisting
- setting plex.direct as private domain
- switching to public DNS servers
- getting your own domain certificate and switching to HTTPS
In the end, I did only two things:
Connected straightaway and worked as expected.
