RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-13
Ok, will try with disabled proxy. Is disabling proxy an security risk or is it ok?
Here is the nginx-proxy-config:

RE: Problem with remote playback - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-13
I don't want you to disable the proxy permanently. But let's remove it as a factor briefly. Can you share the contents of these three files?
conf.d/include/block-exploits.conf
conf.d/include/proxy.conf
/data/nginx/custom/server_proxy[.]conf
RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-13
i was not able to paste it in pastebin because of the content. Here are both files, the server.conf file did not exist in my environment.
Code:
cat block-exploits.conf

Your nginx config looks fine.

Coming back to this, are you asking about disabling nginx? Or the cloudflare proxy?
RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-13
I asked about cloudflare proxy. Nginx i would never disable for something published outside
RE: Problem with remote playback - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-13
Its only a security risk if you don't trust the people you share Jellyfin with.
RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-14
ok understand, thanks
So nginx should work fine. I will start a test with my friend to check without proxy on cloudflare enabled.
any other sugeestions?
What I think was weired is, that the mobile phones would work out of the box even with proxy enabled. Just fire-tv has these problems.
RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-14
atm we are having issues with my friend authenticating. Since i disabled proxy on cloudflare he is not able to connect and gets an timeout error when trying to connect to my url.
from mobile phone it is working, also when i try to connect from my site or cellular i can connect. any ideas? i would like to test it but atm not possible. We also restarted the router, deleted the app on firetv and booted the fire tv stick.
RE: Problem with remote playback - TheDreadPirate - 2025-01-14
Maybe DNS caching? What client are they using?
RE: Problem with remote playback - ice-p - 2025-01-14
the standard jellyfin app for fire tv stick
