PlugPlayer and AirPlayer are two of the few iPhone/iPad apps that allow a user to connect to a remote DLNA/UPnP media server. I've gotten this feature to work well with a competing media server, but it's been unreliable at best with Mezzmo. I've mapped the appropriate port in my router (53168), as well as pointing PlugPlayer and AirPlayer to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:53168/desc (using my public IP address), but PP and AP both have a hard time even seeing Mezzmo, if at all. Am I missing something?

For sure, Mezzmo needs to support user/password authentication for clients outside of the local LAN, to prevent unauthorized users to access my entire media library.


Thanks in advance,
Chris
