Android TV app unable to connect to server - g00diebear - 2024-07-30
Recently updated my server (Windows 10) to the latest stable version.
Everything worked fine until suddenly the movie i was watching stopped.
I could (and can) still access the server via browser, and it showed in the dashboard that the movie was still playing.
I tried to reconnect without luck,
Uninstalled the app on my tv and reinstalled, didn't work.
Reinstalled the server update, still no luck.
When i come to the "enter server address"-screen, and then input my ipv4-adress, it lists all combinations with http and https and respective ports as "unable to connect"
But if i paste the same ipv4 adress into my browser with ":8096" at the end, then everything works fine.
I remember things didn't go smooth the first time i set it up, but i can't for the life of me remember how i got it to work the first time!
I don't have much IT knowledge, so please explain stuff like i'm five.
Searching around haven't given me much help, so i reach out to you.
Thanks fo any help!
