Remote access via domain brings up server selection - RoyalFlush - 2025-07-27

Hey folks,

Currently working through just a weird bug, I have a external domain where I have 2 sub domains, jellyfin.myexternal.com and jf.myexternal.com . The sub domain of just jellyfin works perfectly, but when attempting to use the short hand, "jf" sub domain it brings up a Jellyfin sever selection screen and even if you select the server and press "connect" it fails.

Jellyfin external access is handled by NGINX with Lets Encrypt certs for valid https/ssl

I already entered the proxy IP address and the 2 FQDN's on the Jellyfin server networking proxy settings.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, I was just trying to make it easy for my friends to either use jellyfin or jf.
