10.9.1 Can't Connect to Server - joekun - 2024-05-16

Hello, I'm new to Jellyfin. I set it up a few days ago on my Synology 918+ using container manager from the official image. Today I saw there was an update available and ran it. I also noticed I could change the name of my server while it was down and went ahead and did that. Since then I haven't been able to connect to the server. I go to the IP :8096 and get a "select server" screen. When I try to connect to it I get the message "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again."

As this is new and not really in use yet I decided to just start fresh. I deleted the container, the image, and container manager. Then I reinstalled, downloaded the official image, created a new container and went to IP:8096. I saw my older server name and my new server name. Neither would let me connect. I'm really lost at this point. I would appreciate any help.

Clear your browser cache. Jellyfin-web caches aggressively files and data in your browser and doesn't let it go easily when you make DNS/hostname/IP changes to your server.
