Plex

Hi,
I have a plex server at home, and i have port forwarding enabled to the plex server IP.

I have noticed in this thread something which may be similar to what i am experiencing however i can not get it to work using either suggestion.

using the suggestion of manually adding rebind-domain-ok=plex.direct to /etc/dnsmasq.conf and /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf and rebooting, removed the entry out of /var/etc/dnsmasq.conf as it is automatically generated (as per comment in file).

Doing:

Code: Select all

uci add_list dhcp.dnsmasq[0].rebind_domain=plex.direct 
i get the error

Code: Select all

uci: Invalid argument
I am using a TP-Link Archer C7 v2
firmware: 1.9.2

any assistance would be appreciated as i cannot connect to my plex server externally to my network.

thanks

Try an "@" symbol infront of "dnsmasq"

uci: Entry not found
root@router:~# 
Thanks Lantis - above is the error im getting - is "uci" enabled/installed on 1.9.2?

you need the "." As well. Just put the original command with the @added in.

Uci is core functionality. It is always there.
