Hello,
1 Please ensure that all machines are on the same network and that mDNS broadcasting is not blocked by a router or by having the machines on different subnets.
2 Verify that on the machines where other servers are not visible in NXPlayer, the option Player Settings -> Security -> 'Don't show other computers on this LAN'
is not checked.
If steps 1 and 2 do not help, please proceed:
3 On a machine where other servers are visible and on a machine where the issue occurs (servers are not visible), please run the following commands in the CMD on both machines:
3.1 Check if the %HOME% environment variable is set by running:
echo %HOME%
If it’s not set, you can set it with the following command:
set HOME=C:\Users\YourUsername
Note: Replace YourUsername
with your actual username.
3.2 Execute the nxlocate -s command:
"C:\Program Files\NoMachine\bin\nxlocate.exe" -s
Note: The path may be different depending on where NoMachine was installed.
You should see a similar output:
C:\>"c:\Program Files\NoMachine\bin\nxlocate.exe" -s

19308 8516 2024-06-03 17:46:32 022.453 LocateMain: Running locate application.
After this, type the following command and press Enter:
command=list,type=local
Wait at least 1 minute and then collect the output. During this time, all servers should show up as a response in CMD.
After at least 1 minute, please break by pressing Ctrl + C
and send us the output.
Send it directly to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com.
Repeat the above steps on both machines where it works and where it doesn’t.
