SSL Certificate verification failed when using HTTPS required in Plex

[gentertain]

When the Plex Server is set to "Secure connections: Required" the connection from EMP fails because the certificate is invalid for the IP:
HTTPSConnectionPool(host='192.168.1.90', port=32400): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, "[SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: IP address mismatch, certificate is not valid for '192.168.1.90'. (_ssl.c:1135)")))

Perhaps an option to ignore SSL Certificate can be added in config to prevent this.

Do you have a domain name with a certificate pointing to your server's address? If so, you can try using your server's HTTPS domain name in the config to connect to the server. I think this should resolve the issue.

In this case i dont, this would also require to set a custom certificate in plex server, alternatively it would require to do a U-turn via a reverse proxy that has the doamin with proper certificate. It would be preferrable to do the connection EMP-PMS internally without requiring any external domains or services. another workaround is using the provided ip.xxx.plex.direct subdomain, though it is unclear if that might change frequently.

Alright, I'll see if I can find a way to solve this problem. I'm not a professional developer; I even used Copilot to write EMP. So, I'm not sure if I can fix it, but I'll give it a try. Do you have to set Secure connections to Required? If you set it to Preferred, this issue shouldn't occur.

[gentertain]

Yes the issue only occurs when set to required.

I am not developer either but i think using this option in the request might already solve the issue:
response = requests.get(server, headers=headers, **verify=False**)
if this option can be set via the config file that would be ideal.

Alright, I'll test it when I have time.
