Serviio not showing up on iPads

I've been using Serviio for years on my Mac and know how to use it. I use Serviio on a Mac Mini still running on High Sierra. Serviio shows its status as Running.

On 2 different iPads, Infuse 6 suddenly can't find the Serviio server from within my home network.

Any idea what's going on?

Re: Serviio not showing up on iPads

I have Infuse 4 Pro on my iPad, and see my Serviio server without a problem. Browsing for available shares, I see everything accessible on my network, including both of my Serviio boxes, a Linux PC and my Epson printer. And I must note that this is my work issued iPad, which has some access restrictions placed on it by our IT department. This is an iPad Air 2, running iOS 13.1.2. I also checked VLC on my iPhone XR, also running 13.1.2, and it sees my Serviio boxes as well. And the phone has the same lock-down items as the iPad.

Sounds like your wireless is for some reason blocking access to your internal network. Some access points can do this either with a Guest network/SSID, while some can block all connected devices for any internal IP address. I'd take a look at the settings in your router/WAP to see if something has been changed.

It's all working tonight and there have been no changes to the router settings. I have no idea what was causing the trouble last night.

10/17/19
I'm having the same problem as on Oct 15th: I'm within my home network and the Serviio server isn't showing up on my other devices (e.g., 2 iPads, iPhone) running Infuse or VLC. Serviio still shows its Server Status as Running.

I looked at the router settings and didn't see anything unusual. And no one has changed any router settings this week.

I rebooted the Mac running Serviio (for the first time in about a week) and suddenly my other devices can find the Serviio server.

Any idea why a simple reboot fixed the problem (for now)? Thanks!
