Connecting to my local server - soldatchristi - 2024-04-26
I cannot seem to connect to my local server. It starts with 192.168.x.x but when I put that on the android TV app, it doesn't work. It says it can't connect. I have a VPN but it is disabled. What could be wrong?
RE: Connecting to my local server - TheDreadPirate - 2024-04-26
Check two things first.
1. Is your firewall open on the server to allow connections to it?
2. Do you have "AP Isolation", or something similar, turned on in your router settings? This would prevent wireless devices from communicating with other devices on your network.
RE: Connecting to my local server - soldatchristi - 2024-04-26
I am using Windows Firewall. I'm on Windows 11. I have allowed port 8096 but is there anything else I have to do? As for the router, I will check that now.
Set AP Isolated is set to "No". I am using an ASUS router.
RE: Connecting to my local server - TheDreadPirate - 2024-04-26
What server version are you running? And what version of the Jellyfin for Android TV app? Are you using https?
RE: Connecting to my local server - soldatchristi - 2024-04-26
Server Version is: Version: 10.8.13
Android Version is: 0.16.7
I'm not using https, or at least I don't think so. I don't have it checked in the settings.

Can you share your Jellyfin logs via pastebin?

There is something going on with your network config, but I don't know what specifically.
Code:

It appears I have fixed it.
Apparently, I allowed 8096 in the outbound port, instead of the inbound. Silly mistake.
