Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - SteveDinn - 2023-11-28

Hey everyone. I'm a long-time Jellyfin user, but new to these forums.

I'm running two separate Jellyfin servers at home: one for TV shows & movies and another for music. They're both running v10.8.12 in docker on a fully-patched Debian 11 system. They've both remained unchanged in the weeks since v10.8.12 was released, save for adding new media.

Today, I noticed that my Android and Android TV clients stopped being able to connect to the instance hosting video. Curiously, they can still connect to the other one. The web interfaces for both instances still work. Even looking at the server logs, it seems as though the Android client has successfully authenticated and has started doing the queries to populate the front page. However, I end up right back at the "Choose a server" page:

In the log snippet below, 10.1.1.207 is my Android phone and 10.1.1.9 is my Jellyfin server.

Are there any other logs that I can provide, maybe from the Android client? I'm not sure how to get those logs, but if anyone can point me to the correct documentation, I can try get those. This *feels* like a client issue, but I'm not sure why either component would be having this issue unless it was something to do with a particular piece of media that was added since the last time it worked. I have tried removing the latest few items that were added, but unfortunately, that didn't help.

Ideas or debugging suggestions are welcome!

try a beta android client to compare https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-android/releases

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - SteveDinn - 2023-11-28

I am already running the latest beta on both Android TV and my phone. As far as I know at this point, that is 2.6.0 beta 2. That hasn't been updated since September.

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - SteveDinn - 2023-11-28

I've managed to fix my Android TV client by clearing its data. But the same process did not work for my regular Android client -- it still won't let me connect.

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-28

Clear the app cache? Are the two instances on separate IPs? Or same IP different ports?

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - SteveDinn - 2023-11-28

Clearing the app cache worked for my Android TV Jellyfin app, but not for the regular Android app on my phone.

The two servers are on the same machine, but with different ports. The one that is giving me problems is using "network: host" so that it also shows up for DLNA, and it's using the default port of 8096. It doesn't seem like this is the server's problem though...it's still working for the web client, DLNA, and now my Android TV app again.

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - TheDreadPirate - 2023-11-28

Use the "Fix Connectivity" function on your phone? This is definitely an odd problem.

   

Also, may I ask why you have a separate Jellyfin instance just for music?

RE: Jellyfin Android client suddenly can't connect to my existing server - SteveDinn - 2023-11-28

Ha. No, it's nothing like that. I can use the Jellyfin web client from the same device where the native Android client doesn't work. I use the Jellyfin server machine for tons of other stuff on a daily basis. My network connection does not appear to be the problem.

I brought up the second JF server because I wanted a way to play my music on the sound system attached to my Android TV. However, when I tried to import it all to my main JF instance, it was going to take hours, if not days, to complete the import, and the server was nigh unusable while it was happening. I let the second server do its import business until it was done and the original video-only server remained unaffected. It's not such a big deal to have them be separate.

Side question: Is it possible to use a separate database like mariadb or postgres? I feel like the sqlite db might be the problem for that issue.

Second question: can I enable debug logs for the Android client somehow?

Not at the moment.

I'm not aware of a way to enable debug logging in the Play Store installed app.  If you go to the github and download the debug APK and sideload that, you could generate some logs or something that we might be able to work with.

Cool. Thanks for the help. I'll try a debug build if get some time. The third-party Findroid app is still working for me, so I've been using that in the meantime. But yeah, this is a super weird issue that just popped up out of nowhere. It's especially weird that it happened on the same day for both my Android TV box and my phone.
