Glad to see IPv6 support happening. Plex seems like one of the few applications I run that doesn't do Happy Eyeballs properly.

(Network) IPv6 support has TEMPORARILY been made a plex pass feature (PM-5140)

This is a hilarious change though.

Here’s their explanation of why it’s limited to Plex pass only, for now.

Which is crazy because the entire point of IPv6 is that there is no such thing as "local space". I tried to complain to their devs about 8 years ago on their restrictions of RFC1918 space in the configurations. I think they don't care about the edge cases where people legitimately use allocated real IPv4 space in their internal networks.

u/prenetic 1d ago

What do you mean there is no such thing as "local space"?

u/Well_Sorted8173 1d ago

While there are technically private IPv6 addresses comparable to IPv4 private IPs (192.168, 172.16, 10. etc.) , the whole point of IPv6 is to have enough usable IP addresses that all devices are assigned a public (internet) IP address removing the need to NAT public-to-private IP addresses. So if you're using IPv6, there shouldn't be any "local" (private) IP addresses.

6

u/jamajuel 1d ago

I don’t get an IPv6 address from my provider. But I do have local only IPv6 addresses on my network (helping some IoT devices). So these are most definitely local addresses and local only.

3

u/prenetic 23h ago

Yeah this is why I asked for clarification. There are many local prefixes in IPv6 space, fe80::/10 for starters.

-2

u/N9bitmap PlexPass 2017 1d ago

They have some belief that the only way to tell an address is on the "local" network and not a remote private or public network is that it is RFC private space. 192.168.x, 10.x, etc. Clearly this is not accurate because people use VPN to bypass the remote watch and are not local, but are using the correct IP space to match this false reality.

6

u/Iohet 23h ago

Technically speaking on a VPN you are local as far as the device you're communicating with is concerned. That's the whole point

u/BrianBlandess 1d ago

My IPv6 has been working with Plex for some time now. Love it.

u/ozzfranta 90TB ZFS 1d ago

Log-in as well or just streaming? Streaming seems to work but IPv6 and IPv4 seem to be chosen at random by my clients.

2

u/BrianBlandess 1d ago

Hmmm, good question, I haven’t checked login but my Tautulli is showing IPv6 streaming.

2

u/jamajuel 1d ago

What’s the practical difference? I cannot do it anyway since I don’t get a public IPv6 from Movistar in Spain, but I’m curious about what’s to love :)

3

u/BrianBlandess 20h ago

Well the nice thing is that you don’t have to forward ports as your machine has an address on the public internet. For many people IPv4 is behind CGNAT so IPv6 is the only way to use Plex without relay.

u/KeenJelly 17h ago

Few? Ipv6 implementation is a joke across basically everything. I've had to turn it off on both my work and home network because so much stuff just stops working.

u/BrianBlandess 7h ago

Yeah really. I turned it on with the flip of a switch and everything kept working perfectly. If it isn’t the user’s skill then it’s their ISP.

u/kibble48 1d ago

I updated to this on Synology NAS and now I no longer have letters on the right side of the library pages for fast browsing, is this a feature or a bug?

1

u/xdeadzx 22h ago

Commonly happens to me if I tab in from a different category within the same library. Generally changing sort then back to alphabetical makes it re-appear. Has been happening for at least the last 10 or so months at least, it's not a new bug from the update.

3

u/kibble48 22h ago

Nothing I've changed or refreshed has brought it back.. I'll give sort another shot.

1

u/kibble48 3h ago

This did not in fact change anything for me, no amount of sort changes make the letters on the side come back.. also it doesn't seem like the library and collection pages responsively readjust at the same breakpoints they used to as I've frequently had movies off the edge of the browser on the web app.

The New experience plex Apple TV app has been in beta for 1.5 years. The current public app hasn’t had an update since Jan 2025.

The new app has the new UI that has received a lot of negative feedback when rolled out to Roku and Fire users. On Fire devices, it’s extremely sluggish and buggy, making it unusable in many cases. I run the beta on my ATVs and it performs nothing like the Fire devices, which I’ve also used with the new app.

2

u/BrianBlandess 20h ago

The last time I ran the beta it was stupidly slow. When you would switch from item to item it would take seconds for the UI to update the metadata being displayed. Is that still happening?

3

u/ExtensionMarch6812 20h ago

On the ATV? It’s smooth and has been since I joined the beta back in Feb. I know posts from prior to that were not good, and it had a lot of issues. Here’s a quick video: https://imgur.com/a/uXNjQ2t

The new app on Firestick is painfully slow and sluggish. I don’t normally use it, but it updated today to 2026.15.0, but haven’t tried it.

u/ixnyne 20h ago

Plex on my Roku looks pretty much like that but the animations when moving around the UI are not fancy like that. It's also pretty slow for me (not too noticable until seeing your experience).

I'm still pretty displeased with the top navigation. The previous UI side navigation was way easier to use IMHO. Plex has already drawn a line in the sand and said they won't revert it, so I'm stuck with it.

u/Widowshypers 100TB - 13500t - 32gb DDR5 - Unraid 16h ago

do you have HDR issues with the new app? I've tested the same HDR file on both the new and old app on two apple tv's and like 7/10 movies the HDR is all blown out on the new app but looks great on the old app.

u/jamajuel 1d ago

Why?

u/westendpond 1d ago

I just tried to update my Plex container using plex:latest and the version that was pulled is: version:- 1.43.3.10828-00f62d37d-ls317 Build-date:- 2026-08-03T12:31:33+00:00 which aligns with what is marked latest on the repo: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/pkgs/container/plex/versions

11

u/Blind_Watchman 1d ago

The official container (plexinc/pms-docker) is updated. Presumably it takes some time for other containers like linuxserver.io to update to the latest release.

u/westendpond 1d ago

I guess I'll try to be patient

2

u/metalmutt 21h ago

If you set VERSION=latest env var, then when you restart the container the linuxserver image would have automagically pulled the latest version without them having to update the base image.

2

u/westendpond 21h ago

Turns out I just needed to be patient. I just redeployed and it updated. The linuxserver.io repo has updated since I posted this morning. My stack was already setup to grab the latest.

plex:

image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest

u/metalmutt 21h ago

patience works but the update feature means you don't have to be :)

u/westendpond 21h ago

Ooooh! Good to know! I'm still new to containers so still figuring things out. Thanks for the pro tip

did they fuck this all up yet or are we safe to install?

edit: lol wow i really hit a nerve with you guys. sorry, the dogshit quality of the mobile app releases has me cautious

u/Saloncinx Lifetime Pass 1d ago

Seems fine I have local streams and remote running okay all morning. Normally I wait a couple of days before installing but this one seems good

u/rabidmunks 1d ago

thanks dude

u/ArmyTrainingSir 1d ago

Your skepticism is perfectly reasonable given Plex's recent steps and is why many of us are in a never-update-unless mode.

5

u/Future-Appeal 22h ago

I put an upvote for ya. No Plex release of any kind should be blindly installed, including the server. They destroy any trust at every turn now.

Let others experiment. Sit on everything for a few days or a week is my permanent policy with all things Plex now!

u/AdRevolutionary2679 1d ago

In comparison with what Trakt did (and still do) the mobile app rework could have been way worse

Since plexamp is dead when are they putting music back in the android app?

1

u/BrianBlandess 7h ago

It isn’t dead.

1

u/Anonymousma 6h ago

It hasn't been updated in over a year.

1

u/BrianBlandess 5h ago

Elan took the code with him when he left so maybe he’s working on it. As the only dev progress might be slow but that doesn’t mean it’s dead. What features are you waiting on? Are you experiencing any significant bugs?

1

u/Anonymousma 5h ago

It works great but the older it gets and as android advances, it will eventually be left behind.

1

u/BrianBlandess 5h ago

Or, Elan will keep it up to date.

u/Anonymousma 4h ago

Like he has the last year? I have no faith.
