Decided to try Plex on my FreeNAS server but am having a bit of trouble.
Running FreeNAS 11.1. I have installed Plex using (1) the Plex plug-in, (2) a generic jail and manually installing Plex (using iocage from the command line), and (3) by creating a VM, installing Ubuntu server in the VM, and installing Plex.
In all three cases the setup seems to go fine and I can connect to the Plex server using xxx.xxx.x.x:32400/web and see it locally. But I can't enable remote access or claim the server. Clicking "Claim server" starts a spinning circle which spins for about 30 seconds, then ends with no change and "Claim server" reappearing on the button again.
As an additional test I created an Ubuntu VM on a Windows machine, installed Plex, and was able to "claim" it.
Perhaps this might be some kind of network issue with my FreeNAS setup or maybe even my LAN? I'm not doing anything unusual (I think) and it is hard for me to tell from Plex where things are going wrong.
Ideas on how to go about trouble shooting this would be welcome.
