My server is running, launching via browser works, but no app (iphone, TV, Shield) does

Server Version#: 1.19
Player Version#:

Hi. I had to rebuild my NAS and I reinstalled the server. It is running and I can log into Plex from the browser. But I cannot use plex on any app … neither iPhone, iPad, TV or NVIDIA shield works. The server is shown but when connecting, I get the “cannot connect to server” message.

What I did:

  • updated server, verified it is running
  • checked permissions
  • enabled remote control (although I think it is not needed)

Thanks for your help!

Thank you, but that wasn’t it. They are all on the same subnet.

Thank you for looking into this!

Thanks - I rebooted the router and the NAS and everything else. I tried with the NVidia Shield on both the 5g and normal wifi network, and still the same issue.

Here the logs after the reboot. Thank you. Plex Media Server Logs_2020-05-23_21-57-20.zip (3.0 MB)

Thank you, done. While checking for the firewall I realized that there are issues with the LAN port which seems to be disabled now. I think this is the problem.

Should I refill the DHCP data, with the primary address as shown in my network? But I am unsure about the secondary. Thanks for your advise.

Yes, that is correct, no data there. I can sign into my plex account and the NAS is connected. I can access the NAS via the browser, and launch Plex in the browser and it works. I cannot access Plex via any app.

I see. Are there any leads you could give me? Thank you

Alright - I appreciate you were looking into this from the Plex perspective.
Stay safe!
