I've downloaded Jellyfin onto a Windows machine.
I installed it, I start it, a load of text flashes up and speeds by, then nothing happens.
I've gone into the folder and clicked the Jellyfin thing again, same thing happens. Tried running as Administrator, same thing happens.
I'm able to start up the Jellyfin Windows Tray app, but when I double click it I get a "This site can't be reached" error.
I did have a previous installation of Plex, I've uninstalled that now and it hasn't done any good.
I fully uninstalled Jellyfin (i.e. deleted all data) and reinstalled it, same problems.
I don't think it's an issue with the cache of my browser or anything like that, since I've opened it in incognito tabs and browsers I've never used Plex with and had the same issue.
This is the log I get
