Baseurl not working on Android clients ? - etiennec78 - 2024-02-22
Hello !
I recently decided to place Jellyfin behind an nginx reverse proxy, with everything running in docker.
Since I wanted to use a subdirectory, I added a baseurl in my config.
It works great on any browser or desktop app.
However, each android client can't connect to the server.
I checked on the networking page, and nothing tells that baseurl breaks Android clients.
So I displayed nginx logs but nothing happens when I try to connect.
Does anybody know what could cause this issue ?
Thanks for the help !

Weird... I just tried disabling SSL and Android clients can now connect easily.
Could this be an issue with my certificates not being accepted at all by Android ?
I am currently using Let's encrypt to generate them.

What kind of Android devices and which version of Android are they running? Did you configure Nginx to only offer certain versions of TLS?

Hello, I started a new Qualyss SSL server test, and I got the following error : "This server's certificate chain is incomplete"
So I read my nginx configuration again and noticed that I was using chain.pem for ssl_trusted_certificate, instead of fullchain.pem.
I applied the fix and now Android devices can connect too !

Nevermind, I tested this configuration on another device and the connection failed.
I thought it was working on my phone but I had previously entered the HTTP adress to check if it worked without SSL.
When I logged out and logged back in with SSL activated and HTTPS entered in the adress, it worked perfectly.
However, if I connect a new device through HTTPS, it doesn't work. I need to use HTTP the first time, then change it to HTTPS after it connected successfully.
@TheDreadPirate to answer your question, I'm trying it on my phone running Android 12 and my TV running Android 7.1.1.
In my nginx config, I accept TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3

Can you share your nginx config on sourcebin? Censor the domain name in the server_name and cert path.

It turned out I had put cert.pem as my ssl_certificate, but I had to use fullchain.pem instead (which I had put in ssl_trusted_certificate)
I checked on multiple Android devices and they all work now !
