    Today, 06:27 AM (This post was last modified: 4 hours ago by OmegaSupreme3. Edited 4 times in total.)
    After update to 0.18.11 the app cannot connect to my server anymore, the reverse proxy reports a SSL handshake failure. Before the update I've never experienced any problems with the app. The setup has been working for almost a year without problems.
    • I use a Google ChromeCast 4K (up-to-date)
    • WiFi connection is working (can browse videos etc.)
    • The reverse proxy is configured to use a non self-signed SSL certificate (TransIP). The certificate is valid
    • The reverse proxy also is used for other services and none of those services experience problems
    • No configuration changes have been made to the reverse proxy
    • No configuration changes have been made to JellyFin server (10.10.7 running since release)
    • JellyFin through the webbrowser, MediaPlayer and the regular Android app work without problems. Both from inside and outside the network

    What did I try?
    • I tried connecting directly to the JellyFin server HTTPS (8095), bypassing the reverse proxy, but no connection could be made
    • I also tried through direct connecting to the JellyFin server HTTP (8096), bypassing the reverse proxy, but no connection could be made
    • Remove server settings from the app. Did not resolve the issue
    • Remove the cache/data for the Android TV app. Did not resolve the issue
    • Reinstalled the Android TV app. Did not resolve the issue
    • Tried with a different Google ChromeCast 4K. Same issues occur
    • Checked the logs of JellyFin and couldn't find any relevant information. It seems the app doesn't connect to JellyFin server at all. The logs do not show any information
    • Checked the operating system logs, also no relevant information is shown
    • 'netstat' on the system running JellyFin doesn't reveal any pending connections as well

    The latter seems to indicate that the issue I have might be more of a general connection issue, not only related to SSL connections.

    What steps can I take to start resolving this issue? Are there any debug logs for the app?

    Debug logs can be enabled, but generally aren't going to provide useful information for an issue like this one. What version of Jellyfin server are you running? Additionally, can you share your RP configuration and info (i.e., which one)?

    I am running Jellyfin server 10.10.7 since it was released. With respect to the proxy I'm running HAProxy, it is just a default out of the box setup. I can share the details with you and I appreciate your intent, but I doubt if it matters since the app also fails to make any direct connection (which means bypassing the proxy) to Jellyfin server. I found that later on and updated my post afterwards. Maybe it isn't clear, I will update it to make it more clear.

    I will enable the debug logs and report back here with my findings.
