Servers can have multiple connections defined in the .connections property. Example for a server where remote access is turned off: protocol : https address : 192.168.0.100 port : 32400 uri : https://192-168-0-100.someidentifier.plex.direct:32400 local : True relay : False IPv6 : False Example for a server with remote access enabled. Note the public IP address in the .connections.address property and multiple plex.direct uris: protocol : https address : 172.17.0.5 port : 32400 uri : https://172-17-0-5.someidentifier.plex.direct:32400 local : True relay : False IPv6 : False protocol : https address : 219.153.56.22 port : 32400 uri : https://219-153-56-22.someidentifier.plex.direct:32400 local : False relay : False IPv6 : False Example for a server where remote access is turned off but we are advertising a custom uri for discovery by clients Note the only way we can access this particular server if it's on another network, is via the custom uri (as this IP is an internal docker IP address). protocol : https address : mydomain.com port : 443 uri : https://mydomain.com:443 local : False relay : False IPv6 : False protocol : https address : 172.18.0.2 port : 32400 uri : https://172-18-0-2.someidentifier.plex.direct:32400 local : True relay : False IPv6 : False There might be a more elegant way to select the connection we want but for now we'll go with this for a priority ordering: 1) A direct to the server connection (not via .plex.direct) that is secured with https via a domain name (not an IP address). Example: mydomain.com:443 2) A secured plex.direct connection. There could be multiple. Prioritise the non-local one but fallback to the local one if necessary. 3) A direct to the server connection (not via .plex.direct) that is not secured with https. Example: 192.168.0.100:32400 #> $DirectToServerConnection = $Server.connections | Where-Object { $_.uri -notmatch "plex.direct" -and $_.uri -match "^https" -and $_.address -notmatch "(\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3}" } if($DirectToServerConnection) { Write-Verbose -Message "Found a direct to server connection that is secured with https via a domain name: $($DirectToServerConnection.uri)" $Uri = $DirectToServerConnection.uri $Port = $DirectToServerConnection.port } else { [Array]$PlexDirectConnection = $Server.connections | Where-Object { $_.uri -match "plex.direct" } # If there are multiple plex.direct connections, prioritise the non-local one: $NonLocalPlexDirectConnection = $PlexDirectConnection | Where-Object { $_.local -eq $False } if($NonLocalPlexDirectConnection) { Write-Verbose -Message "Found a non-local plex.direct connection: $($NonLocalPlexDirectConnection.uri)" $Uri = $NonLocalPlexDirectConnection.uri $Port = $NonLocalPlexDirectConnection.port } else { $LocalPlexDirectConnection = $PlexDirectConnection | Where-Object { $_.local -eq $True } if($LocalPlexDirectConnection) { Write-Verbose -Message "Found a local plex.direct connection: $($LocalPlexDirectConnection.uri)" $Uri = $LocalPlexDirectConnection.uri $Port = $LocalPlexDirectConnection.port } } } if(!$Uri) { # We didn't find a suitable connection to use so skip this server Write-Verbose -Message "No suitable connection found for server $($Server.name).
