Error adding manual network on ipad app

Plex Media Server Remote Access
1

Server Version#: 4.22.2
Player Version#:6.9

I want my ipad app to access the media server locally. When trying to add a manual server connection on the app, I get the error 401
A connection to the server couldn’t be established, using the details.

  • If I enter the same details in ipad chrome explorer - I can access the server.

How to solve this?

In the web client, navigate to Settings -> Network (Show Advanced) and add your LAN to the List of IP addresses and networks that are allowed without auth. For example:

192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

Obviously, use values appropriate for your network.

Apparently manual, local connections do not use auth.
