Kodi issue - outdoor - 2025-08-14
Hello,
I'm not sure what has happened. I had jellyfin working on several kodi installs. I had to change modems, so it changed the IP address of my jellyfin server. So now my Kodi installs won't access it. So i tried reinstalling on one and when i go to connect to server on Kodi it does not come up with server name. I try entering the IP address manually
192.168.2.xx:8096
unable to connect
What am i doing wrong?

It this all on your local home network (LAN)?
Are you able to access your JF server from other methods, like a JF app on your phone, a web browser or JF desktop app on another computer? Something like that?
From my experience using JF as the back-end for Kodi clients when you make any changes to your JF side, including IP changes, it's best just to nuke all the JF portions of the Kodi installs and start over from scratch. Unfortunately the 2 systems aren't a seemless interconnect.
But when they work together they make such sweet sweet wonderful love!
