Mark Anderson 2 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 I'm unable to connect for my iPhone or IPad. I've tried host name, ip address, 8096 and 8945 (both are open). I'm connected to network via wifi. Server name has blue checkmark (whatever that means), but all I get is server unreachable. I've looked through server log and see nothing Am I missing a setting or config somewhere? Regards mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jvtm 13 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I had this same issue. In the top field type only the external IP...no port no /'s. Just the IP number. Next field just the open port. Worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edPowers 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Keeping the necro alive, this server unreachable error was caused here by the media server's firewall. Once you allow traffic through the media server's firewall --whether on the two ports above and/or to the media browser application; the necessary setup depends on your firewall type-- clients will connect normally.

This is probably down to the new security requirements which hasn't been implemented in the app. @@darwindeeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techywarrior 688 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yes, at the moment the iPhone app won't work. An exception will be made so that the app will continue to work when the server is promoted to release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlf 40 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Has something changed with last server update? Can no longer get anything to play on Chromecast using iPad app. Everything stalls after I press play on app and I just get chromecasts blue ring revolving but not loading anything on to my tv screen. Everything plays fine on the iPad itself but not to chromecast. Anyone else getting this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnorange 1 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I am using MB Mobile v1.5 and MB Server v3.0.5416.0 and have the same problem as the op. I can connect remotely via web browser with no problem, from both the intranet and the internet, but get the server unreachable error when using the MB Mobile app. Also, I think I correctly fill in the ip and port, i.e. ip: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and port: 8096 as per the below: In the top field type only the external IP...no port no /'s. Just the IP number. Next field just the open port. Any idea why is this happening? Many thanks for your time.

Overseer 66 Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Getting the same issue as well. MB Mobile v1.5 and Server 3.0.5416.0. Maybe the newest server version broke something? Ports 8096 and 8097 open on my server. Am able to connect using Chrome on my iPhone using Chrome and the newly implemented MB Connect but not using the app itself.

Hope our trusted developers will look into this. Maybe somebody with an earlier MB Server release can confirm MB Mobile v1.5 works?

mozbius 3 Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I've just updated Media Browser on my pc... My iPhone 6 connects ok now (it didn't before) BUT my girlfriend's iPhone 4S can't connect and has the same error that I used to have before on my iPhone 6: "Server unreachable. Check server name/ip address and port". Is this to be expected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
