Manual Server Connection Not Working - Android App

Plex Players Mobile Devices

1

Server Version#: 1.20.1.3252
Player Version#: 8.5.2.20133

Since updating to the latest Android app, it will not display my local server (added in manual connections). Was working fine before the update, previous app version was 8.3.x.x (cant remember exact build)

Able to get to server-ip:32400/web via a browser on the phone, just the app that has issues.

Hi, in order to investigate the issue, could you post app logs following https://support.plex.tv/articles/201573117-android-android-tv-fire-tv-logs/ ? Thanks in advance

Snipet of the only mention of a manual connection I can find:

10-22 12:06:05.370 i: [ManualBrowserServer] Searching manual connections
10-22 12:06:05.372 i: [ManualBrowserServer] Finished manual server search, found 0 servers.

I’m trying to see if making a switch from an opensource server to plex is worth it but I have this same issue. I can access via the web browser no problem. Connections in my router from my phone show all sorts of plex activity when booting the app but nothing to the manual IP specified. I also have the same logs:

12-19 12:57:57.322 i: [ManualBrowserServer] Searching manual connections
12-19 12:57:57.323 i: [ManualBrowserServer] Finished manual server search, found 0 servers.

Sideloading App version 8.0.0.17276 (cef99a0) made this configuration work immediately.
