I have my DVR setup on my Mac-mini on my home network. Most of the time I watch from my Apple TV in my living room and have no issues. I have an Amazon Fire TV 4k in my bedroom, Channels installed and working for regular tv, but when I try to access the DVR by inputting the IP address, I get an error that a DVR Server could not be found at that address. It is not automatically discovered, all devices are on the same world network.
Any suggestions?
What IP is assigned to each device?
You can Submit Diagnostics from the Player Settings tab of the FireTV app
Same thing happens when I try to access DVR from the beta app on my apple tv. Here is the log from my most recent attempt:

I am asked for an authorization code, but when i enter it, I get a blank page. I can see my recordings on my apple tv so I know it can be accessed
Something is not quite right with your network. Please list the IPs of the Apple TV, Mac and fire tv
Apple TV 192.168.0.77
Fire TV 192.168.0.62
Mac mini 192.168.0.76
Here is the recent log from my attempt to access the DVR from Fire TV:

The apps are getting a 403 and you're seeing an authorization form, because the DVR thinks the requests are coming from outside your network. Inside the network there is no authentication.
Check the Log tab of the DVR web UI on your Mac.
It seems like your internal network traffic is going out the internet and back to reach your mini?
I saw that, and did not understand why I saw that ip. Looked it up and it is indeed my service provider address range. I will check my log file
How is your network wired together?
Here is what i found in the DVR log file that may shed some light, this was after a reboot to update my OS:

thought this posted:
network is arris modem/router/wifi. connected to two switches one in living room and one in bedroom. Mac mini, apple tv and fire tv are all wired connections.
Which switch is the Mac on ?
direct to arris modem, there are 4 ports
You could try another port or check the router settings to make sure nothing weird like DMZ is enabled
Just did that, and I did check for any weird settings on the modem. I am able to connect using my phone to connect to dvr
Can you plug the Mac into a switch instead?
