NAIM APP ISSUES
Posted by: Andres Herrera on 09 November 2016
My Naim app does not see my plex server eventhough I can play it direct throught my ND5. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
Try reloading the app, restarting the network or compatibility mode on the app. Hopefully one of these suggestions will get you up and running. The other thing that helped my network was fixing the ip addresses in the router. My network has been far more stable since doing this.

It does depend whether this is a new problem and it all worked fine until now or that you are trying for the first time or that you never got it to work. Which is it?

It used to work, but now it it won't show up, I have deleted the App, tried reinstaling it. It also does not work on my ipad.
Ok so you know it's not the app or the Apple device. The best bet is that it's a router issue and I suggest that you should turn off your router, your ND5 and your PC your plex server is running on and the restart your router, wait until it has finished starting up then turn on the Plex server device and then your ND5. You could also restart your iPhone/iPad while you are at it.
i am suggesting this because I suspect that your router isn't allowing the app to discover the server for some reason so restarting everything puts you back at square one.

Andres, out of interest did it stop working after the IOS version was upgraded - there have been a couple of updates recently
Ok finally got it to work, but had to do a whole network redo. My setup is as follows. Router (internet provider's) to Airport Time Capsule. I was getting conflicting addresses here! So I had to do network IP reservation and Bind so that it would n longer have these issues.
If what you are saying is that you have two routers cascaded, then I'm surprised it ever worked. Normally you would disable one of the routers, either the ISP provided one or the Time Capsule and then you can let DHCP do its stuff. Reserving addresses etc shouldn't be necessary. But anyway I am glad you sorted it out.

I decided to do the reservatios etc, beacause everytime my kids would log into the network wierd things kept happening like dropped signals etc.
Would it not be better to put the Time Capsule in bridged mode?
