Any ideas on why I cant connect? - ZERATUL491 - 2025-03-27
Does anyone know why the jellyfin app for iOS wont connect to my laptop server? I added and configured port 8096 in the firewall, and input my IP Address correctly. I've also tried Swiftfin iOS as well, as I saw that some people had success with that over the jellyfin app, but no such luck there for me either. Any help or suggestions is very appreciated. Thanks.

Double check that your network interface is set to private.

Click Start > type Resource Monitor > click on the Network tab > expand the Listening Ports table.
Find jellyfin.exe on port 8096. What does it say in the Firewall Status column?
