The integration will prefer local over public and secure over insecure, in that order. The selected address is shown on the Plex card on the Integrations page. + +If your router enforces DNS rebind protection, connections to the local `plex.direct` hostname may fail (see [Plex documentation](https://support.plex.tv/articles/206225077-how-to-use-secure-server-connections/#dnsrebinding)). To avoid this, configure your router to allow DNS rebinding for `plex.direct` by following the instructions in the documentation link. + ### Integration Options Several options are provided to adjust the behavior of `media_player` entities. These can be changed at **Plex** -> **Options** on the Integrations page.
