Unable to connect from LG TV - bomboletta - 2025-01-03

Very new to all of this so apologize in advance for my possibly stupid question.

I have installed Jellyfin on a Debian mini PC via Swizzin and from my Mac I can happily reach it from my Swizzin page via http://192.168.1.131/jellyfin/web/#/home.html.

I have downloaded the client on my LG TV (https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-webos) but the same URL does not allow me to connect at all; tried http://192.168.1.131:8096 bit it does not accept it.

The LG Jellyfin client does "see" another Jellyfin I have installed as a test on my Mac and lets me connect to it.

What can I do to debug the Debian/Swizzin/Jellyfin connection to the çG Jellyfin client?

Thanks a lot

Use http://192.168.1.131:8096/jellyfin. Swizzin added the jellyfin subpath.

Thanks a bunch for trying to help, but alas your suggestion I had tried already without success. http://192.168.1.131:8096/jellyfin does not work. Any combination with or without the port or the /jellyfin slug are met with failure.

Here is some additional information that might hopefully trigger some ideas.

On my home network I have two machines, a Mac (192.168.1.127 static eth cabled) and a Debian (192.168.1.131 static eth cabled) box, and both of these run both a JF and a Plex server.

From the LG TV using Plex I can see both the Mac and the Debian content.

From the LG TV using the LG JF app I can see the Mac JF content. As a matter of fact the JF app shows a "Roberts-mac-mini" server under the top bigger box where I try to put the address of the Debian box and connect to the mac flawlessly.

From the LG TV using the LG JF app both http://192.168.1.131:8096 or http://192.168.1.131:8096/jellyfin attempts are greeted with an orange error box "Unknown error occurred, are you connecting to a Jellyfin Server?"

Is there any logging/troubleshooting I can do from the Debian box please?

EDIT: PROBLEM SOLVED

I edited the network.xml file and changed the interface from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 and <RequireHttps>false</RequireHttps>

This exposes the JF server on my Debian box to all connections from any device but as it's my home LAN would not be too worried.

I think situation has arisen from installing via Swizzin and then going back and forth with problems with certificates and nginx.

Thank you all for trying to help.
