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 )
