I have a synology NAS running Plex that works perfectly when playing locally and remotely for video and audio. I have Plexamp running on my iPhone and Ipad that works great remotely but as soon as I am on my local network back home it cannot find my server. How come the Plex app has no problem fin…

Thanks Elan. I Changed the server setting that is registered on Plex.tv (both the 192.xxx and 10.0.xx) were listed so once I selected the 10.0 one everything worked like a charm. Thanks for the help and support. Catch you on the plexside :metal:

the only known cause of that is if the server isn’t signed in or the app and server are signed in under different accounts.

Thanks for the quick reply but this is applicable to all my devices on the local network. I’ve signed out and signed back in again and it’s the same. If I drop off the WiFi and go to 4G then it works perfectly. Go back to WiFi on local network and it can’t find the server. A bit stumped.

Thanks Elan, I’m not too network savvy so will need to investigate. The strange thing is that all devices on my local network are set in the 10.0.4.xx range and not 192. So why would Plexamp be looking at 192 range?. Also why does the Plex app (on the same device) not have the same issue? (Just ou…
