Hi all,
I have been struggling with streaming from my MediaMonkey server on windows 11. upon the recommendation from the knowledge base , I have installed and configured Tailscale on both Windows PC and my android phone. The app on the phone detects the server, and browses the songs, but when I hit play, I get the "Server inaccessible. Searching..." message. I tried entering the XmlDescription url in my browser, and I successfully see the xml file. I see the android device in the clients list, with the status of my queries as accepted but nothing gets played.
I also configured the Firewall according to the instructions in the knowledge base https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/kno ... ccessible/.
I am not sure what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

Talk to Tailscale support to explain to you how to setup it so that you can access LAN resources.dARtillery wrote: ↑Thu Jan 08, 2026 2:07 am Hi all,

Yes, I can reliably open the XML file in the browser.
Thanks, I will contact Tailscale as well.
