## Port 1900 add-on conflicts

Plex Media server uses port `1900` for access to the Plex DLNA Server. This port
is also used by multiple other add-ons, like the AirSonos and UniFi add-ons.

In case they conflict, the Plex Media Server add-on will fail to start.
The following error message is shown in the Hass.io system log:

```txt
[hassio.docker] Can't start addon_40817795_plex: 500 Server Error:
Internal Server Error ("driver failed programming external connectivity
on endpoint addon_40817795_plex):
Error starting userland proxy: listen udp 0.0.0.0:1900:
bind: address already in use
```

You have two choices:

- Disable or remove the conflicting add-on
- Change the port number 1900 to something else.

The last option will cause you to lose the DLNA capabilities of the
Plex Media Server.
