Server help. - Wiffleboy - 2025-04-06

I created a Jellyfin server on LibreELEC. My device is a Homatics box, running CoreELEC Kodi with Jellyfin add-on client. I can connect over WiFi, but I would like to get faster speeds, but I can't wire directly to the router, it is across the house. The LE JF server is connected directly to the Homatics box with a LAN cable. Both the PC and the Homatics box is gigabit LAN.

I can't get the JF server to connect to the Kodi CE Jellyfin client with the direct LAN cable?

I have 2 other LAN ports in the LE server PC which connect directly to Mini PCs via LAN cable and both connect to the server no problem. The web interface and SMB shares both work as expected directly connected to both Mini PCs running Windows.

I have created static ip's for each LAN connections direct link. The Homatics box running CoreELEC just can't connect to the Jellyfin server directly wired. It only works when I turn off the wired connections, and connect over WiFi which doesn't allow me to play high bitrate videos. Thanks for any advice!

When you attempt to connect on the client, are you manually typing in the address or using the service discovery function to initiate the connection?

RE: Server help. - Wiffleboy - 2025-04-06

Thanks. I manually add the ip I assigned to the JF server. I have tried different IP's and sub masks without success. Specifically, I went to "Add Server" and I typed in 10.1.1.1:8096. It didn't say it couldn't connect, so I thought it worked, but it doesn't let me play movies or manage libraries.

My server ip is 10.1.1.1 with 255.0.0.0 as the Subnet Mask.

The CoreElec client static IP I added is 10.1.1.2 Subnet Mask 255.0.0.0.

Thanks again.

It has been many moons since I tried a direct connection. Do you know if Jellyfin is binding to the interface that CoreElec traffic would come in on?

RE: Server help. - Wiffleboy - 2025-04-06

Sorry. I don't know what that means. How would I check that? I really appreciate the help!

Would it help if I added a router even though I can't connect the modem to it?

Restart your server then share the jellyfin log via privatebin.net. It will print out which interfaces it is binding to. The interface bind setting is in Dashboard > Networking > Bind to local network address

It is not binding to the interface you are using for Kodi.

Code:
[INF] [1] Jellyfin.Networking.Manager.NetworkManager: Filtered interface addresses: ["127.0.0.1", "169.254.229.150", "169.254.89.111", "192.229.7.193"]

It also looks like you changed something for "LAN Networks" that is breaking Jellyfin

Code:
[2025-04-06 21:42:02.808 +00:00] [ERR] [1] Emby.Server.Implementations.AppBase.BaseConfigurationManager: Error loading configuration file: "/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.jellyfin/config/network.xml"

System.InvalidOperationException: There is an error in XML document (28, 3).

 ---> System.Xml.XmlException: The 'LocalNetworkSubnets' start tag on line 17 position 4 does not match the end tag of 'NetworkConfiguration'. Line 28, position 3.

What are the contents of that file?

Code:
/storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.jellyfin/config/network.xml
