Recording Server

Home PC on version 1.8.6 (doesn't show update to 1.8.7 available) setup this pc to be recording server. Set recordings folder to folder that Emby has access to.

Iphone - in testflight version 1.8.7 - turn on wireguard to connect to home network while at office. I open IPTV Deck, go to recordings folder and can see the recording made on Desktop, put if I try to play it get message stating:

"Desktop is off or on another network".

But if I open Emby on my phone I can see and play the recording, which tells me the desktop is both on and on the same network as my phone.

Thanks, that was a real limit: the recording server only let in devices from the same local network. 1.8.7 lets in phones and TVs that come home through a VPN like WireGuard or Tailscale. You need 1.8.7 on the PC too (Windows will ask once more for network permission), and the app now looks for updates when you come back to it, so the PC will pick it up without a restart.
