How i fixed “No Plex Media Server available” in sonos player

It is a Plex server running on a Pi5.  It was THREE problems that had to be fixed before it would play, with no help from Sonos but a lot of help from ChatGPT.

I hope someone finds it useful.

    Hi ​@thirdprize 

    Welcome to the Sonos Community!

    I’m not surprised we couldn’t assist much, considering what the issues you were having were, but it’s great to hear you got Plex working on your Sonos system - thanks for sharing your fix!

      You could have made it a bit easier though.  Each one just came up with the same error message in the error log.  Even another message saying “can’t access server” or “server returns 403” would make life infinitely easier.  There are so many places these things can break, any help narrowing it down would be greatly appreciated.
