Can't connect with iOS app on LAN - mooch91 - 2025-03-02

Simply wanting to get my iPhone to be able to connect with my new Jellyfin server on my LAN.  I have no issues accessing the server from any web browsers on the iPhone, but when I try through the iOS app, I repeatedly get: "Could not connect to server".

192.168.X.X:8096
192.168.X.X:8096/jellyfin
http://192.168.X.X:8096
http://192.168.X.X:8096/jellyfin

I've tried deleting and reinstalling the app with the same outcome.

"Local Network" is selected in the Jellyfin iOS app settings.

"Allow remote connections to this server" is selected in Jellyfin.  All other settings are default.

Anything else I might be missing?

Thanks!

Nevermind, I finally figured it out. I went back to the TrueNAS docker and saw I selected port 8093, not port 8096, when I configured it. Updated it and all works fine.
