DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - jellyfun - 2024-03-05

Hi all,
Here is my setup: jellyfin is on a pi on the local network, while the tv is on the guest network. I can access jellyfin just fine from my laptop's browser on the local network, as well as from the tv's browser on the guest network. For this, I set up a traffic rule on my router to allow traffic from the guest network to the pi on the local network at 192.168.8.101:8096. 
I tried using Tizen studio to build up the app on the TV, but the remote device manager does not find the TV (either with scan or by manually setting the ip, despite developer mode being activated and the laptop being set on the guest network temporarily). Any input for that is welcome too.
So I want to try DNLA but nothing gets picked up by the TV. I set similar traffic rules for ports 1900/udp and 7359/udp, but no luck. I enabled "Enable 'Play To' DLNA feature" and "Enable DLNA server", but find nothing in the TV's sources. I also set both the local network and the guest network for DNLA. TV is a 2021 55" samsung and should work, right?
The log lists the following endlessly:

Am I missing something obvious?

do you want install Jellyfin on your samsing TV?

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - jellyfun - 2024-03-05

Well, yes and no. Like I said, I tried to sideload the app and that has not worked. So I am trying to use DLNA instead at the moment.

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - Serge K - 2024-03-05

check this
https://github.com/jeppevinkel/jellyfin-tizen-builds
and do not use quest net

DLNA is working on my Samsung TV
You need to swich on DLNA on Jellyfin server side

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - jellyfun - 2024-03-05

Thanks, Serge. But, like I said, I tried sideloading the app, with the same build you provide, and it doesn't work as the device manager does not pick up the TV.

As for DLNA, I'm glad it works for you, but it does not work on my side and I do already have DLNA enabled, as I indicated in my post.

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - Serge K - 2024-03-05

try to switch on DLNA on your windows PC and you must see your windows dlna server on Samsung tv

by default all Samsung smart tvs support DLNA

I do not understand your network topology but I think the problem is in guest net settings. Delete guest net, create ordinary LAN net (wifi or wired), all your devices must have ips from your router.

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - jellyfun - 2024-03-06

I appreciate the help but I am not going to delete my whole guest network over this and, of course, I already have an ordinary lan. The point of the guest network is indeed to separate appliances and guests from the main network. Deleting the whole thing is not a viable option. And, again, DLNA is activated on jellyfin already.

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-07

DLNA only works for clients on the same subnet. If the TV and Jellyfin server are on separate subnets, DLNA will not work.

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - jellyfun - 2024-03-08

Maybe that's why. But then what's the point of the field where you enter IP part of the local network?

RE: DLNA not working on Samsung SmartTV - TheDreadPirate - 2024-03-08

The field for defining local networks is for determining when to apply your "Internet max bit rate" configs. If you have a limited upload speed and only want, for example, external streams to use 5Mbps each max you obviously don't want that same limit to apply to LAN connections.
