I don't think this is very likely since this used to work, but it would be nice to be certain that they both use the same subnet mask.
#PS4 NOT CONNECTING TO UNIVERSAL MEDIA SERVER PS4#
If your PC use 255.255.255.0 and the PS4 uses 255.0.0.0 (or vice versa), they won't be able to "see" to each other. For the 10.x.x.x net, I've seen defaults for either of the two masks mentioned. Home networks usually use either .x or 10.x.x.x, and .x is "simpler" in that subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (/24) is pretty much always what's used. What is essential is that both devices use the same subnet mask, regardless of in which notation it is written. For more information, see one of the many online IP calculators for example this one: There isn't much consistency as to where what form is used, but 255.255.255.0 is the same as /24, and 255.0.0.0 is the same as /8.

To make it extra complicated, there are two ways to write subnet masks, either the dot-decimal notation or with a slash and the number of bits. Follow this tutorial to learn how to install Media Server on your Synology NAS, and stream media files to your PS4 for instant.

It was originally based on PS3 Media Server by shagrath, and started by SubJunk, an official developer of PMS. I'll have to give it a shot and see if it has any advantages.With every IP address there is a subnet mask, for example 10.0.0.32 normally have either subnet mask 255.255.255.0 or 255.0.0.0. Universal Media Server is a free DLNA, UPnP and HTTP/S Media Server. I did forward port 8096 to the ps4 ip adress bu no connection. When I added my server adress manually it said it could not connect. It also doesn't keep track of watched/unwatched across several devices without some symlink magic.Īny time I've ever had an issue or concern, I've also gone to their chat or forums, and have even spoken with the creator of Plex on several occasions.Įdit: I just looked into Emby (I had never heard of it before) it seems it may actually be a realistic alternative to Plex in features. I have added a pin to my account but when Im redirected to the emby connect page I did not see my server there. But Kodi is more about streaming from external sources, not internal, and is too intermittent for my taste. Turn off your PS4, disconnect the power cable from the back and wait for 30 seconds. Except MAYBE Kodi.which is basically Plex, since they both come from XBMC bones. Make sure that you reboot your PS4 and modem/router. I have also tried most of the "alternatives" you list, and most are not even close to an all in one encompassing replacement for Plex.
I love Plex, use it every single day and would NEVER trade it for anything out there currently. I have had a few "issues" over the years, but mostly associated with computers or network, not Plex. I paid for it the day PlexPass came out (I had been using it for several years before that) and I never looked back. Wow, it sucks that you've had so many issues with Plex. If all else fails, switch to DHCP to have the router assign the NAS an IP. I use Universal Media Server and have not had a lot of major issues.

Double check manual IP assignment to ensure all numbers match (and the IP address you reserved for the NAS is actually available and offered by the router). So Ive been using the media player app on my ps4 to stream video from my laptop. Should you be unable to access the Plex server on the network as well as outside the home or office, you may have a misconfiguration of your NAS, which may include discrepancies between the router or access point and the unit. How to enable remote access in Plex (opens in new tab) Cannot access server on LAN This is the required port you need to have open but others can be added (opens in new tab) for additional Plex services like DLNA. The ports may not be blocked on your network, but it could be that the bandwidth simply isnt sufficient to stream video to our server. ) You can try using a different network to see if that helps. How to forward ports on a router differs between manufacturers but the details you need to know are as follows: There could be a block to the necessary ports for the media server connection (Ports. Or you can go down the manual route by opening up a port yourself. Universal Plug and Play (uPnP) can be enabled to allow Plex to "talk" with the router and have ports and routes opened up for access from the outside world. If you're able to access the Plex server using a client on the same network but are unable to connect outside, the most likely cause of the problem is the router.
