Hi. I cannot get past being able to view (only .. I know input isn’t supported) from iOS when on the same LAN.
For example : decide name “tiny”
tiny/
http://tiny/
But an IP address works: 192.168.2.105
Chrome reports this when attempting to get there
ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED
Get I change any settings on TP to have iOS DNS resolve this?

Hi @Alt0, thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble accessing your TinyPilot device on iOS.
You should be able to access your TinyPilot device using its hostname with no special configuration required. Can you please try using the built-in Safari browser to rule out a Chrome specific issue and can you also please try using the https://tinypilot.local address format (replacing “tinypilot” with the hostname of your TinyPilot device)?
Hey that worked! Why did it need .local extension? I assume it must be something with how RPI hosts the web server?

The
.localaddress is due to your TinyPilot device advertising itself over mDNS to make it easier to connect to. The mDNS protocol allows devices to announce themselves, and discover other devices, on a network without depending on DNS servers or static host address mappings.
