Streaming Devices go Offline After Time - res00zvle - 2025-02-20
Jellyfin version: 10.10.6 (10.10.6 (c335a3024)_windows-x64.exe)
Host: Windows 11, i5 AMD Ryzen 5 5625U with Radeon Graphics, 8GB RAM, Seagtae 2TB external drive
Streaming device: Jellyfin ios app, Swiftin ios, Roku TV Jellyfin app
Myself and my brother who lives in another state have had this problem for a years (also with Plex, ONN, Chromecast and Video Stream years back). After a period of time (1-2 hours), outside Streaming devices listed above lose connection to the server. Turning my PC wifi on and off for just a second restores the connection. I've never lost connection while I'm watching a show. I've attached the logs that should show the lost connection for Roku, Swiftin amd Jellyfin ios. Any help is appreciated.

It looks like you have two interfaces on the server?
Code:
Filtered interface addresses: ["192.168.56.1", "192.168.1.4", "127.0.0.1"]I'm assuming 192.168.1.4 is your primary network interface. What is 192.168.56.1? You can try binding Jellyfin explicitly to 192.168.1.4.

Thanks for taking the time to answer.
The ip 192.168.56.1 was what I initially had when I tried to install Jellyfin. I changed the server to private and that changed the ip to 192.168.56.1. I am wondering now if my ip is changing over time.
Is there a good way to permanently bind my ip to Jellyfin? I can only find temporary solutions like forcebindip.

Most routers will provide a way to statically assign an IP to a device. Usually in the DHCP config UI.
But the fact that you have two tells me there are two active network interfaces. You could just disable the unused interface.
