Swiftfin server connection issues with tvOS 18.5 - marcusaurelius - 2025-07-01

Swiftfin 1.0.1 is the newest version in the Apple tv app store.  I have this version installed on 2 apple tv 4K running tvos 18.5, it sees my local server but when I click on the server the app does not respond.  I also have my server set up on tail scale and when I try using the magic DNS address the app does not respond there is no status or any sign the app is trying to connect .

I have a Roku and fire tv that can connect locally to the local server on the same network as the apple tv's.  I have also set up a friend through tail scale using magic DNS and the app was able to connect on a firestick.

Any help or info around the cause of this issue is much appreciated.
