Hi, I’m new to this, so probably making some basic mistake.

I installed Mopidy on Raspbian.  
I can access mopidy (and iris) from my web browser on my pc, but cannot from my ipad. Does anyone know how I can do that?  
The ipad says the site cant be reached.

sudo mopidyctl config

What address are you trying to access it on? Have you tried hostname and IP address? Are you remembering to add the port?  
Is it definitely connected to the same network? You’re not using a VPN or proxy?

If I type hostname -i it tells me 127.0.1.1.  
I’m using remote.it and when I click on VNC it says the hostname is 10.0.0240.  
From the raspberry pi 127.0.1.1:6680 or 10.0.0.240:6680 or raspberrypimusic:6680 all work  
From the pc only 10.0.0.240:6680 or raspberrypimusic:6680 work  
And from my ipad only 10.0.0.240:6680 works

Does that make any sense?  
I’m using remote.it

I think the ip address changed. I could have sworn it used to be 127.0.0.1  
I also get no sound now with the error:

127.0.0.1, like localhost, just means “this computer”. You wouldn’t be able to access another device using that address.
