The Play 4K device defaults to a different subnet to my local network (192.168.100.100 instead of 192.168.1.something) so it can't be found on the local network. I tried turning off the Windows firewall & reset things but nothing works. Managed or unmanaged switch doesn't seem to make any difference. There's no provided help to troubleshoot & test configs (windows/switch/router) to know why it's doing this & how to fix it. It ignores DHCP & reservations.
When connecting the PLAY to a home router, I can access the webpage with a laptop. Then I change the PLAY config to fixed IP Then I change the laptop config to fixed IP, Connecting both directly with ethernet, The laptop can ping the play with windows cmd, BUT the webpage is not working in chrome or edge. 1) Why does the webpage does not work? 2) How to reset the play back such that it can be accessed and controlled? When using another PLAY, Updating fw to .30 via router connection, Keeping DHCP IP but setting fallback to a fixed IP, and configuring the laptop the the same fixed ip network, the webpage does work with a direct connection. 3) how to recover the first PLAY, without CEC device, such that I can update fw and use the same ip config approach?
There is no official reset process. What is it that you need done to the device? Best to update the FIRMWARE to .30 and that will get it mostly back to factory settings.
Great review! Love the details!
To see the IP Address, also just plugin a HDMI Monitor

Hi can I use this to decode NDI over the internet from other locations? Or does it have to be on the same local network? Thanks
NDI over the internet requires the use if NDI Bridge between sites. Then Play could see sources from Bridge on your network.

How do you factory reset this device
