You can exclude localhost in the Android Player to start local web spots at 127.0.0.1 instead. This can be useful, for example, if you're having issues with redirected external server calls.
To exclude local host, perform the following steps:
Open the player configuration or the configuration group:
For an individual player, go to Channels > Location. Double-click on your player and select Edit next to Configuration in the Edit player window.
For a configuration group, go to Administration > Player > Configuration groups and double-click on the configuration group.
In the Edit configuration group window, select Display extended modules.
Under Modules, select Server.
Under Settings, select Pin LocalServer to 127.0.0.1.
Click Save to save your changes.
Restart the player service or reboot the player for your changes to take effect.
