Plex log reporting network problems (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I have a mini PC running Ubuntu. I use docker portainer to house Plex and all of the arrs services.

Due to playback issues which I assumed were due to EAC3 audio (a common issue which others reported), I removed Plex from docker and installed it outside.

To my frustration I am still getting buffer problems, so I downloaded the log file. This appears to be reporting constant network notifications. I have copied an extract below.

I have an ethernet cable plugged into the PC and (when I was using Windows pre Ubuntu) I have reserved the IP address in the router for the MAC address for the ethernet adaptor.

I have no idea where to start in troubleshooting this. Is the WIFI adapter trying to connect? Or is the docker network interfering? I have no experience with this so would be very grateful for some pointers.

Thanks for your insights.

The router is set up to give the PC a static IP already. I have now gone into the Networks page in Ubuntu desktop, set the IPv4 method from Automatic DHCP to Manual, and added my static IP there.

The arrs and other docker containers all use the same bridge network (and not the default network). None except for Plex are set to use Host.

I have removed Plex again and added it once more to the docker. Unfortunately Plex logs are still showing the same issue.
