Unable to access this over lan #1

Closed contactwajeeh closed 6 years ago

Hello Ridhwaans,

Great initiative by the way, I tried to set this up works good locally on the machine where I set this up but unable to access it on my lan using different machine. Is there any additional configuration required to get this working on lan. Please advise.

The issue I am facing is the app loads up fine, shows all the movies in the catalog but when I open any of it, the player becomes inactive (as if all the controls greys out and I cannot do anything with that). Appreciate your time and thanks in advance.

Regards, Mohammed Wajee

hi @contactwajeeh. In the latest release, you would have to search and replace localhost:<port> with the ip address of your computer in the lan.
If that doesnt work, check if the fs_path in your movies json is pointing to the filesystem address. See https://github.com/ridhwaans/homehost#naming-conventions
