Cannot Connect to Cider #5

Open rhora10 opened 2 years ago

rhora10 commented 2 years ago

Info: Cider Version: 1.4.0 Cider Remote Version 1.0.1(3)

Issue: When trying to connect, all I see is a spinning circle that says "Scanning Cider Remote Instance". When I go to scan a QR code, I cant find one in the app. Guessing that Version 1.4.0 does not support Cider Remote. Please let me know!

I had a similar problem too. Maybe you have the same problem and my solution works for you. (If you use Windows.)

Windows did not allowed Cider to access the local Network. So that the smartphone was not allowed to controll the player. After going to the firewall settings (for Windows Vista, but still working on Windows 11) and fix that, it now works fine.

I use Cider 1.4.3-alpha.1862 Cider Remote Version 1.0.1(3)

Edit: To get the QR Code on the Desktop Client (Version 1.4.3) click on the logo in the top left corner and there the first option in the menue. Something like "Web Romte" or "Zeige Web-Remote QR-Code".

I currently am using the Cider Client on Ubuntu but have a dual boot to Windows 10. I think the issue is that I am not on the alpha version and just the base version. Going to see if I can get it to update to alpha, mess around with the firewall a bit, and will report back. On Version 1.4.0, when you click "Web Remote" all it does it take me to Cider's main page to download Cider Remote.

Thank you for your suggestions!
