Skybox VR not finding DLNA server

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.40.3.8555
Player Version#: Skybox version 1.1.8
<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>
I haven’t been able to access my Plex DLNA server from Skybox VR on the Quest 3. I contacted Skybox’s support and according to their logs Skybox’s DLNA module is working perfectly.

I have Upnp enabled in my router. Is there anything else I can try?

Are the Plex server and your Quest 3 in the same network/subnet?
DLNA cannot stream across networks.

Thanks for your response! Yes, however I do have a Wifi extender from Verizon. When I look at the network on the Quest 3 it gives the router’s IP as the gateway, so I think it’s connecting to the router not the extender, which the plex server is connected to as well.

Figured it out - the laptop I am using is a Macbook which had the firewall enabled which was blocking all incoming traffic. Disabling the local firewall as described in https://support.plex.tv/articles/201543147-what-network-ports-do-i-need-to-allow-through-my-firewall/ allows Skybox to reach the Plex DLNA server.

All set - thanks for your help!
