iOs app not connecting to local server

[Lelantos]

If this is like a couple of other iOS users, apparently the iOS version of our app (or was it something Apple specific) doesn't re-try the variations of your address like our Android app does.

What happens if you type out the ENTIRE URL for your jellyfin server?

http://192.168.X.X:8096

Including the http protocol and port number is important, apparently.  If it fails the first time, iOS fails are subsequent retries when it tries variations of your IP.

Thanks for the suggestion; I tried using the full url (http://192.168.X.X:8096), as well as with the suffice '/jellyfin' ( http://192.168.X.X:8096/jellyfin), but unfortunately this also didn't work.

Interestingly, the Swiftfin iOS app works perfectly; there are no connectivity issues with my local server and the media play as expected.

It would be great to have the additional functionality of Jellyfin iOS app - are there any other solutions that I could try?

Thank you.
