I have been running the Plex plugin on FreeNAS 11.2 using DHCP without any issues since the new UI. Plex is the sole purpose of my server and it's the only plugin I have installed. Since I updated FreeNAS yesterday (FreeNAS-11.2-U2 Build Date: Feb 14, 2019 20:8) Plex no longer works. When I check on the Jail it says 'ERROR' under IPv4 Address and the plugin says 'DHCP - Network Issue' under IPv4 Address. The status of both the Jail and the Plugin says UP.
I have never been able to run the Plex plugin with a static IP address since this new iocage jail system was introduced so I accepted the minor inconvenience of having to keep changing the port forwarding on my router every time the dynamic IP address changed and for the most part that worked fine. As you can probably tell I am not too familiar with the workings of FreeBSD. I am primarily a Windows user.
I again attempted to use a static IP address by unchecking DHCP Autoconfigure IPv4, VNET and Berkeley Packet Filter and setting an IP address manually. When I start the Plex jail and plugin, the Plex Web UI loads fine both locally and remotely and I can see all my Movies and TV Shows, however, if I add any new movies, no metadata will download but with TV Shows only some will download. In addition to that only some of my stuff will play and some just won't. I have never has these issues prior to the update. Things are just not working normally.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction to begin troubleshooting this problem. Ask for whatever additional information you need and I will try my best to provide it.
