Connecting NAS Jellyfin in NAS to LGTV - Dodgie - 2025-09-20
My NAS has Jellyfin installed. It is connected by ethernet cable to my TP-link router, and from there by ethernet cable to my LG TV. The router is also cabled to my mac. I can access the NAS and all its files and settings from my mac. Its working fine as external storage to the mac.
However, when I try to persuade the LGTV Jellyfin app to access the NAS, it asks me for the IP. Fine, I can see the NAS in the router as http://192.168.x.xxx. However, when I put that into the LGTV app, it fails. If I use 192.168.x.xx it tries, then times out. I add :8096 and it fails. I've looked at many posts and tried many of them, but no luck.
I tried a direct ethernet connection to the TV (the NAS has two ethernet outlets), not through the router) with the same result.
Please - what am I doing wrong or missing?
