Can't stream from my MMW server

Post by dARtillery »

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.
I got you correctly Scanning MM Server QR code using Phone Camera opens default browser and shows XML Correctly?

Yes, I can reliably open the XML file in the browser.

Thanks, I will contact Tailscale as well.
