I can not get VLC to recognize my Pi 4 with rasbian. VLC recognizes my windows server with minimal issues. I have the same settings for both servers in plex configuration. Both servers are using ethernet connection to the router. I can connect with media player to the pi with no issues. I have tried disabling and reenabling DLNA and GDM with nothing. I’ve restarted multiple times with nothing.
I didn’t to have any firewall installed but I found UFW and installed it. I set up the ports as listed in the FAQ and rebooted my server. VLC now sees and works good on my Pi server now. It does seem that after I watch one movie or episode that in order to watch another one on the same device I need to restart PMS. Other than that it works great at 30mbps wifi streaming on the same movie plex can’t play for more than 3 seconds unfortunately.
