Hi Efficient..
Sorry for not clearing that out.. it was my Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G smartphone..
On my very first setup with v10.8.12.. a super software i might add.. i connetced all my devices.. my main NUC computer where everything resides, with my smartphone and LG TV..
And to watch a flick on TV i used my smartphone as a remote to start everything on the TV.. it might be an odd way.. but hey.. im happy i got everything to work as i wanted..
But.. i upgraded to v10.9.7 and its there where all mess started..
Nothing worked as if the setup zeroed all settings and i needed to start from scratch.. plus i couldn't log in.. nor on my stationary NUC or in my Samsung smartphone..
And i was searching for solutions on the net but couldn't find anything similar to what i experienced.. so i thought i tear all down and start from scratch..
It was then it got messier.. i checked my C:\programs folder and noticed, even though i've uninstalled the Jellyfin/server folder was still full with all kinds of files, manily .dll's..
So i thoght i through that in the bin and all is good to start new.. but it wasnt that easy.. i have to go through safe mode to be able to 'release' the folders from the windows grip..
Finally when i got rid of everything i could install new v10.9.7.. and from there i could start fresh.. but when webinterface started up it felt strange as if Jellyfin was working slow..
Since my first post here i've checked and searched the net for info when i came across a post on Reddit where one of your esteemed members "anthonylavado" gave the poster an advice to hard refresh browser (shift + f5).. can't reinstall Jellyfin ..one part i totally missed and thought wasn't necessary.. anyway.. and so i did.. Jellyfin then started to act.. well, more natural.. as if Jellyfins hard stomach goot it's release.. and all of a sudden the Android app in my Samsung also worked..
Soo.. where am i now..
Well.. i didn't get it all to work the same was as before.. due to DLNA not working..
What i instead did.. and came a cross in a post on the net was that i could open upp Jellyfin through TV browser instead and use Jellyfin from there.. after some fiddling i got everything working fine from my LG TV..
So now i don't need to use my Samsung smartphone as a remote to start the movies on my LG TV.. i only open up my TV browser from the bookmark i've set.. and *poff* Jellyfin is there to browse..
However.. there is one thing.. but it's not that it makes me sleepless at nights..
I have 5-6 media folder at the top set up with diffrerent media.. on my LG TV i only see 4.. and cannot access the left folders to the right.. to do that i my go through settings > media library.. and the same with the movies below.. i cant access them to the right.. the white 'arrow' to right and left are missing.. maybe thats a css issue i cant figure out by myself..
Soo.. the sum of all this writing is that Jellyfin is pretty much that my Jellyfin is working now.. at least to 99% compared to 95% before (with my smartphone as remote)..
So i thank all of you who trying to help..
