Issues with connecting from outside network all clients. - Beardedgrump - 2025-12-04
Everything worked great upto 2 weeks ago.
Running windows 11 Pro as server with Jellyfin direct to fiber 3Gbps connection port forwarded 8096.
Threadripper 1950X
128 GB DDR4 3600 Ram
141 TB of space over 14 drives about 125 TB full (9170 Movies, and 3716 TV Series plus some Anime and audio books).
GTX 1060 for transcoding etc.
Everything was working fine, my parents could access no problem. Now every once in awhile... it just randomly says failed to connect. and then if we wait 15 to 20 minutes... it works fine. Usually.... sometimes it take a day or two.
I Have it set to restart server every day at 4am. and I update catalog every day at 1 am. I Make sure media detection is done before 3 am every day so that restart doesnt impede that or create problems with corrupting the scan of the media folders.
Any Ideas? or am I simply asking too much of JF with this many files?
Just for a little extra credit... I run an Emby Server with exact same catalog on it side by side on a different port. and I have my external IP set to DDNS so its literally a website with port to connect.
We have had no issues up to about 15 days ago.
Now my family cannot connect from any of their houses half the time.... and its frustrating.
