Bug ID: 402105 Summary: Plex-media-server & kde connect both listen to port 1716 Product: kdeconnect Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: common Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com Reporter: mathieu+...@lagilb.fr Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Both Plex-media-server and kde-connect seems to listen to port 1716 since kde connect is a desktop util and plex-media-server is a service plex preempts the port so kde connect fails to start and offer the service. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. on ubuntu install both kde connect (I use the gnome variant GSConnect) and plex-media-server (the .deb variant) (link : https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/#plex-media-server) 2. reboot plex works but kde connect fails to acquire port 1716 2bis. sudo lsof -i :1716 shows port being in use by plex 3. in plex-media-server (http://localhost:32400) in the config/network part disable all services then restart the server (systemctl restart plexmediaserver.service) 4. restart kde connect and now it works ! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Not 100% sure this is a bug, more like a incompatibility that should be noted in a documentation somewhere (like the page the error message leads to) I could not find what service plex offers via this port (not very clear in the docs they do not mention 1716 in the "what ports to open in your firewall" page for plex ) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
