PlexAutoSkip not working when Plex in docker is not using host network #69
Comments

You shouldn't need to use the host network so something else is going on The actual connection refused error you're getting is at the time of the script trying to connect to your Plex client (Apple TV) not the server, looks like it connects to the server fine given the success message and then information it has on playback sessions this appears to be working (though maybe you're referring to some earlier attempts, without those logs can't help much in that regard) Does your Apple TV have remote controlling enabled? That would give you a connection refused error if it does not |

I have all the required things set on the tvOS side. This was working when I had a previous install on a proxmox LXC with autoskip installed in the same OS Plex was in. It was the moment i put it into docker is when things got weird. Is there anything i can provide here to give more insight? |

As far as the server not connecting, some logs of that actually happening would be nice since the current logs showed that component working fine For it not being able to connect to your Apple TV, you should confirm that Plex Companion is running and is accessible on the Apple TV You should be able to access the resources of the Plex Companion API on your Apple TV by navigating to http://10.0.1.126:32500/resources?token=[MYTOKEN] But change the IP to the local IP address of your Apple TV and insert a working Plex token. Do this while the plex app is running in the foreground <MediaContainer size="1">
<Player machineIdentifier="CENSORED" product="Plex for Apple TV" protocol="plex" deviceClass="stb" platform="tvOS" platformVersion="17.4" title="Apple TV" protocolCapabilities="playback,playqueues,timeline,provider-playback" protocolVersion="1"/>
</MediaContainer>That's what my Apple TV outputs. We actually have pretty similar setups, I took am using Plex and PAS in docker and an Apple TV, and I do not have PAS on the host network and everything is working fine When you aren't using HOST mode and you get errors, if you look at the Plex activity dashboard, is it showing the proper IP address of the client on that interface? I've seen if you have some kind of networking configuration problem in Plex, plex will just default to resolving the IP address to its own local IP which might be how you're getting the wrong client IP |

Also I may misinterpreted, but I do have my Plex container on the host network, just not Plex Auto Skip, but that still shouldn't make a difference functionality wise |
you're the best thank you, i'll give this a shot and let you know |

Any updates or can I close this out? |
Hi,
I have Plex and Autoskip in my docker setup with them assigned to a docker network.
When I assign the config the LAN ip (192.168.0.7), while in the docker network (Plex sees it at 172.18.0.5), it connects, but then throws errors when attempting to do anything..
From what I see, it's attempting to use the docker network gateway 'host='172.18.0.1', port=32500' (which i did not specify 32500 anywhere in this setup fyi)
I attempted to add the docker network IP assigned to plex in the config file but nothing happened. It wasn't until i removed plex and added it to the host network in docker is when it started working. I kept PlexAutoSkip in the docker network.
Is there something here that I can do to maintain my docker networks but still use this tool? Is there something i am missing?
let me know if you need any other info.
