I'm aware a lot of people trying to use Sonos and Plex together for the first time may be able to see their Plex music library within Sonos but won't be able to play any music from it.
Despite setting up port forwarding / UpNP, the biggest culprit appears to be this NAT reflection business and having to set it up on compatible routers.
Whilst a vast majority of users won't have a clue what any of this, my question is whether anyone has found a workaround to-date?
Even for those who have some understanding of this internal / external IP address stuff, seems quite a lot of routers don't have the option of configuring NAT reflection on board. This is my case and I can't get a router which has this option as all the broadband providers in my country do not allow 3rd party routers.
The project is still in beta and despite another thread touching on the lack of updates, this is a fairly major issue and at this stage, I would have hoped the Plex team might have gotten some way in getting around it. Or at least to inform users there is no way in getting around it without a router capable of configuring NAT reflection.
