Update:
Easy connection to Screen does NOT work without internet... It requires a Samsung account and for you to be signed in over the internet...
But I did get Jellyfin to work on the TV...
The network configuration was the issue....
This is the Network configuration I used...
PC
IP: 192.168.1.10
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
dns: blank
The IP can be anything within the IP range as long as it is different than the gateway, it is the unique hardware identifier on the network
The subnet mask is the standard one that is used by the gateway to set the IP range... In this case 255.255.255.0 sets the network IP range as 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255... You can have as many devices connected thru hubs and switches without a router on the true LAN up to the limit of the IP range...
The Gateway is the IP address of the LAN it self.... The servers unique identifier...
The Reason for the non entry in the DNS section is there is no DNS (Domain Name Service) server attached or connected to the network so if you put anything there it looks for a named network, when it doesn't find one, it throws a network error...
TV
IP: 192.168.1.20
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.1.1
dns: blank
The IP is different here cause the TV has to have it's own unique ID on the LAN, so it has be different than the gateway and the server's ID's... I set the server to 10 and the TV to 20...
Jellyfin-My Media (my Media is the name of the server) shows in the source menu on the Samsung Smart TV.... When you select it, it shows a windows style file system instead of the Jellyfin user interface, but all your setups are there...
My setup does not allow transcoding but does allow passthrough over the Cat 8 cable directly to the TV.... the Server runs headless... (no monitor or keyboard/mouse)
It's not purty but it works!!!
Stats:
Dual Xeon 2970 E3's (48 cores, complete over kill I know, but it's what I have on hand) Watercooled... 16 gig memory
Supermicro X10DRI-t motherboard
EVGA GTX 1080ti hybrid GPU
Seagate Barracuda 2T HD as the system drive
HGST 10T drive as the TV show library drive
HGST 4T drive as the Movie library drive
WD 4T drive as the Documentary library drive...
4 bay hotswap bay to hold the HD's
Since transcoding is turned off I do not know if I need the video card except for the occasion when I need to access the OP system...
Of course I do not know any of the fine points of running or setup of this system yet, I'm just happy it works without having to reprogram the TV...
Thank you for listening to me and the help given that pointed me in the right direction...
Thank you VERY Much!!!
