Mac mini + PMS + Ethernet does not stream to other devices on LAN (works ok on Wifi)

Hi all,

my setup is pretty basic:

**Mac mini **

  • running PMS + PHT
  • connected via HDMI to TV
  • connected to router via Wifi (DHCP with manual address)

Other devices:

  • iphone with plex app

  • macbook with PHT

I've had some issues with router recently where wifi droped once in a day and mac mini hasn't connected to it automatically again. The PMS was unavailable to other devices (I like to watch tv shows while cooking in kitchen), so I decided to connect the mac to router via ethernet cable.

Since then streaming from mac mini to other devices on LAN does not work - there is only endless buffering. There is also no upload traffic from mac mini (can see that through istat menus) even though the server recognizes an active transcoding session. If I try to stream from iphone connected via 4G and not LAN, everything works ok, I can also see the upload traffic. If I reverse to wifi only connection and plug the ethernet out, everything works ok.

I checked following settings / things that might cause the issue:

  • Wifi and ethernet are not enabled at the same time

  • Checked if firewall on router is not causing problems

  • Updated PMS to most recent version

**What could be the issue preventing ethernet only connection to work? **

Many thanks for any help ;)
