Are you running a reverse proxy like Caddy or Nginx?

Did your AppleTV recently updated to tvOS 18.2?

Also, you're putting "http://" before the IP and ":8096" after?

I....was not. But now it works that I've added it. I feel really dumb that I didn't think this. My train of thought was "Oh, I don't need a URL. I have the IP and port". I wonder how many people make this same mistake.
I would humbly suggest:
1. Include some kind of copy on the connection screen that suggests users should include 'http://' even if they are manually specifying their IP.
2. A step in the connection flow that checks and prepends 'http://' to whatever users enter if their connection is unsuccessful (or if they ignore (1) and only enter an IP)
3. Attempt to include 'http://' if making a connection with a discovered local sever.
#3 is especially surprising. It seems like low hanging fruit to fix this especially if the app is able to discover there is a server running on the local network.
Time now to troubleshoot why sound is not coming through on certain videos...but that is the subject for another thread
