you have a DNS issue. Check DNS settings on the AppleTV and your router.

I also noticed something weird, inside Apple TV settings the network tab shows my IP, but inside mrmc>system information>internet it says I’m connected but everything else 0 even IP.

force quit and relaunch mrmc.

I have tried it, strange is that plex which is connected to the same remote server is working and can play files from there, but cannot connect to the remote server directly from mrmc like I used to. I’ll switch dns to cloudfare dns or something and give it another try and update again.

It never shows for me either, even doing that. I always just figured it was a tvOS limitation.

Update: remote server can be connected again without changing any dns setting, in other word it started working by itself again. Thanks for the support, probably dns resolver was down.

mine (AppleTV4K/tvos 13) shows correct IP address and subnet mask.
