Hi,
I wanted to try rasplex on my RPI 2. The documentation assumes it is easy but I failed to have it working…
It seems my pi correctly connected to my account (I entered the four keys from my server and it logged in the rpi), I can see the rpi from my server in the devices panel and I can connect through SSH.
But it won’t display anything from my library T-T.
I’ve set up both the server and the client on static ip but it won’t do it.
Any idea ?
I’m a software developer, while I don’t have much networking knowledge, you can use technical terms.
Thanks,
Adrien Horgnies
setup:
PMS v1.9.2.4285-9f65b88ae (Windows 10)
PHT v1.8.0.148-573b6d73 (Rasplex)
How its the setup on your network?
Are the server and the client on the same NAT?
Does the server has remote access?
Is the server and the client using the same account?
and the final dumb question: Are you sure you are sharing content that the Rpi can see? (Ex. the user could be limited to only share PG content)
Both server and client are on the same LAN, both wired to the router.
Router -> ethernet -> CPL -> ethernet -> server (192.168.1.13)
Router -> ethernet -> switch -> ethernet -> client (192.168.1.25)
I’m not sure to understand the question about the NAT, they’re both on the same LAN, so there is no NAT occuring, is there ?
The server can connect to the client through SSH (with the SSH client putty).
Yes both are using the same account, I only have one.
The user is myself and is not limited in any way.
you made me think to check some more things and I got some interesting result.
I can’t even get the web client from the server itself if I use anything else than the loopback. It seems the server doesn’t serve anything to the LAN… So, what’s that NAT story again ?
Ok I found it.
I just moved to a new place and my computer set the network as public… Damn me. I guess making it private will solve everything. Now I have to find that damn option which is hidden in Windows 10 for whatever reason.
Yes I ask because sometimes the client and the server needs to be in the same segment of the network. For example if the server its on the switch but the client its on a wifi router (and I say router instead of access point) both are on different segments of the network and you could have problems with how the wifi router filters packages, firewalls, etc.
But if the server its accesible from outside the network you can still find it but it will think that you are doing a remote connection
anyway, good to know you was able to fix it and that it was just a firewall issue
