Unable to connect with DLNA - MinionsNRW - 2025-02-18
Hello,
I am unable to connect to my Jellyfin Server using DLNA. I tried using my TV and VLC media player, but both of them were unable to connect, with VLC returning the error "your Input could not be opened VLC, could not open the mediaurl 'serverurl'." (translated from German, so English phrasing will be different). Furthermore, I do not have a firewall installed. I believe I am running on the same subnet, since everything goes directly to the router and the IPs are identical until the last two digits, but since I have no Clue what I am doing, I can not say for sure.
I have installed the DLNA Plugin, left it on standard Settings, and run Jellyfin using docker compose. The same Problem arose with the official and the Linuxserver.io Image and the respective docker-compose files from the Installation guide. I also attached the compose file I am currently using, as well as my logs covering server startup, once with default logging and once with debug level logging.
Thank you in advance!

Two things.
Upgrade to 10.10.6. It fixes a service discovery bug that may or may not also impact DLNA.
Then you need to setup Jellyfin to use port 3010 directly OR not do the port redirection. Jellyfin is not aware of the redirection and advertises that connections come in on port 8096.

Thank you for your help! That was indeed the issue.
