update-plex-ipv6-access-url\n\nDynDNS-like tool for keeping your Plex IPv6 custom access URL up to date, automating the IPv6 workaround for Plex as described on [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/PleX/comments/b82opu/plex_remote_access_over_ipv6/).\n\n## Features\n\n- determine IPv6 address for a specified interface\n- update Plex settings with plex.direct-domain using current IPv6 address\n\n## Command line arguments\n\nIf any required command line argument is omitted, the tool will prompt you to provide input at runtime.\n\n| Name

Plex up to listen on the `ens18` interface. Your Plex library resides in the default location, which is `/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server`. Assuming you are currently in the directory you placed the script in, you would run the script like so:\n```bash\n./update-plex-ipv6-access-url -address http://localhost:32400 -interface ens18 -config \"/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml\"\n```\n\nPlex does not store the config on disk on all platforms. On those platforms, you need to manually specify an access token, as it cannot be read from Preferences.xml.\n```powershell\n.\\update-plex-ipv6-access-url.exe -address http://localhost:32400 -interface Ethernet -token your-X-Plex-Token\n```\n\nTo automate the process, create a cronjob or other type of scheduled task in order to run the script regularly.\n\nFor testing or one-time use, you can also run the tool without any command line arguments and provide required input at runtime.\n```commandline\n$ ./update-plex-ipv6-access-url\nEnter the Plex server's address in format 'http[s]://host:port': http://localhost:32400\nEnter the name of network interface to use for IPv6 access: eth0\nEnter a Plex access token (X-Plex-Token): your-X-Plex-Token\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcetteup%2Fupdate-plex-ipv6-access-url","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcetteup%2Fupdate-plex-ipv6-access-url","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcetteup%2Fupdate-plex-ipv6-access-url/lists"}
