Just an update - I only have an issue when trying to connect from Switch to PC (windows 10).
PC to PC (Windows 10 to Windows 11 and vice versa), and PC (Windows 10) to Switch both work fine. I have not tried to/from Android but might give it a go.
The game I want to connect to always appears, but does not allow me to connect when on the Switch.
The original OP is using Switch to try to connect to PC - he mentions this on a Reddit post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/MCPE/comments/10a20cs/none_of_my_friends_on_console_can_connect_to_my/
I am also having the same issue, a few weeks ago my daughter (Switch) is no longer able to connect to me (PC). We are both on the latest version 1.19.51, tried logging out, rebooting, all kinds of other things, with no luck. This has only started to happen in the last few weeks, prior to this we were able to connect with no problems.
I've checked my Nintendo Switch Online membership which is good till 27/03/2023.
I've tried new worlds, old worlds etc.
Connecting to a world running on the Switch actually works, but the world we've been playing on for nearly a year is not on the switch (and previously we had to stop doing it that way around due to the really bad performance when hosting on a switch).
You can see the world appear in the "Join Cross-Platform Friends" section on the switch, but when trying to connect it gets to the "Connecting to multiplayer game" screen and after a while tells you it failed to connect.
edit: I realised this is probably a duplicate of https://bugs.mojang.com/browse/MCPE-165811
I'm also having this issue when trying to run the bedrock server inside a docker container.
The container is the latest ubuntu image, and minecraft is version 1.8.1.2 (I have tried with 1.8.0.24 as well).
It works fine if the world files are local, but when I try and use an external volume for the world files it seems to crash. This happens even if it's a brand new world. It creates some files (so I know it's not a permissions issue) below when no world is specified:
Bedrock world/db/000006.log (0kb)
Bedrock world/db/CURRENT (1kb)
Bedrock world/db/LOCK (0kb)
Bedrock world/db/MANIFEST-000001 (1kb)
Bedrock world/db/lost/00003.log (0kb)
Bedrock world/db/lost/MANIFEST-000001 (1kb)
The output from the server is as follow:
NO LOG FILE! - setting up server logging...
NO LOG FILE! - [2019-01-18 18:55:46 INFO] Starting Server
NO LOG FILE! - [2019-01-18 18:55:46 INFO] Version 1.8.1.2

Quit correctly
Does anyone have any idea?
Hi. Have retested and confirm that it seems to work again. No Minecraft or Switch updates, so maybe something in the Microsoft/XBox server communication stack?
