Hey @willrc627
This error occurs when the DNS request for plex.local doesn't resolve.
The reason for this error is likely unrelated to MovieMatch, and is specific to your network and execution environment.
- Docker has its own DNS server for the containers it runs, and can't resolve local domains from your network (e.g.
plex.local,plex.lan, etc). - Try using the IP address instead of a domain name in these circumstances.
- If you want Docker's DNS resolution to work like you expect, you can start with this bug - https://serverfault.com/questions/1030064/docker-cant-resolve-dns-names-outside-of-docker-network-receiving-read-from-dn
