Hi Calibear, I also run OpenVpn on my router (Asus RT-AC86U running Merlin firmware) for BI5. It really is as simple as making BI think your phone is on your home network when you are away. So, to try to unravel this: 1. Does your phone (I'm assuming the "remote device" is a mobile phone) ...

Well I guess I can close this thread now. I decided to try an Amazon 4k fire stick as they were at 50% discount = £25 on Prime day. Simple logic, I could sell it for more than that if it didn't work. So, I checked UI3 on the default browser. Nice ! I installed the Emby client - just WOW compared to ...

Hi Daran,

Assuming you are on wifi on the same network, have you set up your LAN IP and port in the android app ? I tend to keep my Windows server on a static ip to stop it moving around. Have you set up a mobile user in BI5 and used the same user and password in the android app too ?
