access for android phone - wbravin - 2025-10-14

Hello all

I suffered a major debacle 3 weeks ago and i am slowly rebuilding my environment.

One of the last steps is connecting to my Jellyfin server from my android phone.

My Jellyfin server is installed as an APP on truenas scale. The app is installed with a host network box checked and na published url of 192.168.1.124:8096
I can access my Jellyfin server from my Jellyfin clients installed on all my pcs.

Yet when i add this url i get an error "unable to reach server" https://192.168.1.124:8096, HTTP://192.168.1.124:8096

In addition I have Tailscale installed and running on the same truenas server on which is installed Jellyfin server. 

As my Truenas server is approved in tailscale admin and I have userspace box checked and advertised exit node checked
I still cannot a access Jellyfin from my android phone when i am trying to connect to via tailscale remote.

I can reach mt truenas server remotely 

Is it a problem with my jellyfin app on my android

What have not configured correctly?

Thank you in advance for any help

Can you ping 192.168.1.124 from your Android phone? You may need to download an app to try.

Thank you for your reply

I downloaded PING on my phone and in fact i can reach my ip address and my network.

One more learning for me

I still cannot login to my tailscale ip address for truenas and adding 8096

You cannot use 192.168.1.124:8096 when accessing Jellyfin over Tailscale/Wireguard. What is the Tailscale IP address of your Jellyfin server? You need to use http://TAILSCALEIP:8096
