[PROBLEM] Can't access moode webgui from android phone

Everything Al said is on point.

As an aside, though, if the hostname of your moode player is "moode" then "moode.local" should work in recent releases of Android. It works on my Pixel 6a phone for example (Android 13).

However, I emphasized should because this feature didn't work in Android as recently as very late 2021 when it was rolled out silently as part of a Google Play System upgrade. That's when it began working on my last phone, a Pixel 3a. I don't know how much longer it took for this update to propagate through 3rd party phone vendors such as Samsung, etc.

I also have this problem,
"moode.local" & "moode" in browsers don't work.

I use the "Pi Music" app, now. This app has an IP scanner dedicated for pis.

not "ideal", but it works...

The fact you cannot access moOde by its "name" may be an issue with the localDNS, and you can by-pass this by entering the IP address moOde has received by your router; no need for 3rd party apps whatsoever.

I know this, but I feel like it's not as comfortable as it should be.
