Fire TV unable to connect to server - BriMan83 - 2024-12-18
I have a recently set up Jellyfin sever running, and it runs almost perfectly on my local network. Except for one Fire TV, all my other TV's and my laptop are able to connect with no problem. But there is one TV that just cannot/will not connect, and nothing shows up in the log about it failing, something going wrong, etc. It just tried to connect for a few seconds, and then gives me an error message that it's "unable to connect to server. tried the following addresses:. The server and the TV are on the same subnet, and everything else connects fine through either the Fire TV app, or through the web interface. It's just this one TV that can't. I've aatached the log (but as I said the attempt isn't registering in the log), as well as a screenshot of the exact error the TV gives. I've confirmed I'm putting the right address into the TV app, so any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Pastebin link for the log file is https://pastebin.com/Tk5W7hLM. The 192.168.68.77 request you see at the end of the log is from my laptop. The IP address of the TV in question is 192.168.68.68. All the TV are running version 0.18.2 of the androidtv version of the app.

Change your LAN Networks setting to "192.168.68.0/24". I don't THINK using ".1/24" would cause this issue, but I want to eliminate that as a factor. Connections should still go through if that was misconfigured, but login would not be permitted if you don't have remote connections enabled.
Do you have any rules on the host firewall restricting access to port 8096 to certain IPs?
