VLC for iOS 2.4.1 & PLEX Server Support

Postby YellowFellow » 04 Mar 2015 15:53

Hi,

I can't connect to my PLEX server via the VLC iOS App.
Clicking on 'Local Network' I see the PLEX server in the UPnP area but this way I got trouble seeing any movie.
The 'PLEX Media Server (via Bonjour) area is empty in VLC, but that server is reachable natively via Samsung smart TV and iOS/Android PLEX app.

So the PLEX server is there (QNAP NAS in LAN) but isn't shown in VLC.
What do I have to do so that I can use the VLC native PLEX support?

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I'm running a Plex Server on a Windows 7 computer and it's not showing up in VLC for iOS. I'm pretty sure that bonjour is working properly on the server because the iOS apps Plex and Infuse are able to connect to the server just fine. Would love some assistance, thanks.

We need to debug this feature with Plex on Windows it seems. So far, we developed and debugged it with Plex on Mac only.

My PMS runs on a QNAP NAS (Linux/QTS 4.1.3). Can you already say, when you'll have that fixed?
