Jellyfin not discoverable

[ome cor]

Hi, I basically have the same problem. Posted it here in general troubleshooting, when this subforum was probably the better place.

In short; I'm running Jellyfin server on macOS (native on old Mac-mini). Everything works fine when using the Jellyfin client on either my TV or iPad, but I can't seem to get the DLNA server recognized by any DLNA-client. Like you, I also wanted to run the DLNA server for sharing audiofiles.

All necessary ports seem to be open (this is from terminal output);
UDP *:7359
UDP *:ssdp (which is port 1900)
UDP *:52394
TCP *:8096 (LISTEN)
TCP 8096->37274 (ESTABLISHED)

I tried other DLNA servers (Kodi on my mac-mini, Windows Media Streaming on a pc) and they immediately show up as a source on either my TV, AV-receiver, or VLC. So I'm pretty sure my network is fine.

@MrBlond: I understand you got it working by installing everything directly on the NUC instead of using a VM? Did you put anymore effort in getting the VM-Jellyfin working?

I can offcourse install another DLNA server just to share my audio, but it feels a bit redundant, since Jellyfin should be able to do it just fine.

Does anyone have an idea why this is not working? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
