SOLVED: Cannot claim Plex server, 'there was a problem signing in to Plex'

Postby maartenpelgrim » Thu Nov 16, 2017 12:25 pm

I have been running Plex for quite a while now, but because of a recent restart I was forced to completely reinstall Plex. Everything went fine until the moment that I had to claim my server. When I try to log in it gives me the (totally useless) message that 'there was a problem logging in to Plex'. I have checked the DNS, and it seems fine. Port forwarding has been configured properly. I am running Amahi 9 (perhaps that's the problem?)

Should more information be needed, feel free to ask!

All the best,

MPE

Solved it myself. The problem was that Plex could not reach the custom DNS I was using. I solved that by temporarily switching to the google DNS, which was instantly recognized by Plex. After I claimed my server, I switched back again to my custom DNS.
