Hello all,

Today I got an update from Wiim featuring the new Plex integration. This is a game changer for me.

When I connected my Plex account, it shows “Unable to discover library”. What is going on here? My Plex server is fully discoverable

I have a small update and it appears to be working now, but its not so secure.
First of all, I had to make sure that Plex is using the actual internal IP instead of the Docker virtual network IP. For docker installations, Plex MUST use host mode in the docker network configuration.

After setting this configuration, WiiM still refuses to connect to my Plex server. After messaging back and forth with WiiM support, it appears that the WiiM Mini device is unable to access my Plex server.

After doing some research, it appears that WiiM Mini (possibly other devices too) only uses HTTP to connect to a Plex server and not HTTPS. To make this work, I had to turn my Secure Connections to "Preferred" instead of "Required". To set this configuration, go to Plex Settings -> Network -> Secure Connections where you can toggle either "Preferred" or "Required".

I am not a fan of this, this means that all of my Plex users are able to stream without a secure connection. Please add HTTPS support for Plex.

It works perfectly for me without going to host networking, but you have to configure the docker container with a an advertise ip. In the environment section of the config I had to add.

- ADVERTISE_IP=https://*your_local_ip*:32400

I added the same URL in the custom sever access url in the plex network config as well (in the UI).

Can you confirm that Plex integration is now in the software and out of the beta status?
