    Also make sure you try using the ip address of your server instead of the hostname. For some reason, the hostname will not work, but specifying the actual ip will work.

    Thank you. Jellyfin Server is 10.9.6; android app version is 2.6.1.

    I managed to get the Android TV to connect. Turns out I had a VPN turned on from something else that I forgot about  Upside-down-face
    Once I turned off the VPN, it immediately discovered the server.
    Not sure if this matters but I think the TV uses IPv6 address, so I also had enable IPv6 in the server settings.

    The phone however I still can't figure out. It isn't able to discover any servers, and when I enter the IP address, still nothing.
    I also tried ping from phone to PC and no response. Ping from PC to phone IP also does not work.
    (I have been able to ping other devices such as my laptop from the PC, and other websites such as google.com from the phone.)

    If I run 'arp -a' on the server PC it shows the IP address of the phone. But I cannot ping it.
