Hi!
I hope that OP doesn't mind me piggyback on the question. I'm having a similar issue.
I set up Jellyfin server on an unused desktop and I installed Jellyfin client on other home devices (phones, Chromecast, tablet, etc.) and the client is also installed on the server.
On the server, I checked the box to allow Remote Connection in the Network configuration.
On the router, I routed ports 8096 and 8920 to the IP below.
So far, only the client installed on the server can access to it with address as 192.168.1.19:8096 (192.168.1.19 being the local IP address of the server). No other device is able to. Neither letting the client to find the server automatically nor manually enter the address work.
For context, my network runs with a router (Draytek). Behind it, I have an Aruba switch. 2 AP (Aruba Instant On) connect to the switch on mesh mode. The server connects via Ethernet. All other devices connected via WiFi provided by the AP. IP are managed by the router, so they all have 192.168.1.xxx address.
I used to run Kodi (the past 10 years) on the server as my only Media Center. But with the new network, I learned about Jellyfin and I'm trying to migrate. So far the prospect is not bright though.
Help and suggestions are most welcome
I'm looking for inputs. Hopefully that can help me settled with Jellyfin for another 10 years.
Edit: typos. It's been a while since I last frequented forums.
