      Hello peeps!

      Recently made the switch to Pfsense and everything is working out great(pretty green on Pfsense itself and networking in general).

      After i started using Pfsense however a strange Plex "issue" poped up. In Plex webinterface you have a section called "Now Playing" where you can see what users are watching what and on what platform(and also state, playing, paused etc). This section does not automatically clear out connections anymore. Lets say a user starts watching "Family Guy" if the user pauses and exits the Plex App or just kills the Plex App the connection is still listed under "Now Playing" the only way the "Now Playing" section actually clears out the entry is if a user actually stops with the stop button in the plex player or if i restart the plexmediaserver all together. Any tips of a setting or what maybe causing this? Im not sure this is even caused by Pfsense but no update or change has been made on my system/infrascturcture appart from switching to Pfsense as a firewall/router.

      This "issue" arrived after i started using Pfsense, im reaching at straws here but thought i might aswell post the issue here(posted at the plex forums aswell due to im not sure where this problem is happening).

      Any help is greatly appreciated, i have a lot of users streaming from my plex server and im using a couple of statistics tool and if the Now playing section is not working correctly its get messy and inaccurate…
