Hi all,
I have been successfully running a Jellyfin server on a Windows machine and successfully consuming the content on a variety of clients within my network (iPhone, iPad, Roku, Fire TV). I was not set up for external connection.
I saw a strong recommendation to upgrade to V10.8.13, so I downloaded and installed. The installation screen said it would retain my current server settings. However, after installation and restart, I am seeing this behavior:
- From all devices, both client and server (including localhost:8096), a "Select Server" message with my server, but when I try to connect I receive the message "We're unable to connect to the selected server right now. Please ensure it is running and try again."
- I cleared cache and cookies from my browser running localhost:8096 and reloaded. Now I see the "Welcome to Jellyfin" message with a quick help guide and a setup wizard. If I click through, it does look as if I'd be starting from scratch.
Am I missing something here? Is there a way to "select" my previous server settings without having to recreate the whole thing? I worry that if I continue the setup process, I will overwrite all my old settings (if they are not in fact already overwritten/deleted).
I seem to remember hitting this problem once before after an update, and I needed to delete a file in the Jellyfin folder to unstick things. However, I can't find that post now. Any help would be appreciated - even if it's a confirmation that I'm SOL and need to re-set-up the whole thing. Thanks in advance!
