SOLVED: Can't see other clients in the "cast to" devices list

[auxym]

Changed it to host networking, deleted all .local/share and .cache JMP folders and restarted both clients: no luck, same issue.

No firewall running on the host (truenas) machine. To my knowledge truenas does not include firewall functionality at all. Running nmap (-sT) from my laptop (one of the clients) also shows port 8096 as open on the host.

Thanks for the help so far troubleshooting this btw
