Hello, I have a plex server in my lan, i want to Access it from Android on my OnePlus 13r, and it doesn’t see my libraries when on the lan, same through a vpn or remote connection.

From a browser on mobile it works.

I can’t understand what is blocking it.

Without a Plex Pass or Remote Watch Pass, you cannot use remote connections.

Most likely an issue with DNS.

Finally after struggling with thousands of tests i finally installed PLEX Photos and it works like a charm !

Seems that all libraries activities have been removed from PLEX and we need Pex Photos on Android to watch our libraries !

But…

No landscape mode to view videos, and playing videos in 4G/5G seems impossible…; still issues…
