I have been having issues connecting two clients (LG TV App and android app) to my server (Debian Linux) within my local network. I have uninstalled and installed all clients and server and still having issues. When I access the web client on the same computer that Jellyfin server is installed on everything works fine. It is only an issues when trying to connect from other devices. There will be times when the clients do connect but it seems very random and the problem will start up again very quickly.
When I try to connect to the server on android app I am greeted by a screen where I can type in the host. I make sure to type my IP in this format "http://MY_IP:8096". When I do I get an error that says:
Then I tap on "Choose server" but when I do there is nothing coming up under Available Servers. Same thing happening on LG TV WebOS app installed from the content store. I open up a terminal and type
The service is active. At this point I am not sure what to do. I know there are logs in the dashboard but to be honest I am not sure what parts of the log are useful or what I should be looking for. With some guidance I am able to provide logs necessary. Here is some relevant information:
I used to run Jellyfin a while back and it was amazing using the same linux distro and installation methods. Now, I am not really sure why it is giving me such a hard time. I have seen other people having similar problem as mine on this forum but either they don't have a solution (it just started working with no known solution) and/or they are running Jellyfin on Windows machines. Anyway, thanks in advance.
