I've been using Jellyfin for around 3 years now with no significant issues.
Last night my wife was watching a show on our Android TV with the Jellyfin App and it just stopped midway through.
I'm running Server Version 10.10.3 on a Windows 10 PC
I have Starlink Internet (no ethernet) - I have run it with the ethernet adapter and a 3rd party router through the starlink in the past.
I typically update the server approximately 1-2 weeks after I get the notice from the web client. Never been an issue.
What stumps me the most is that I've been running this pretty consistently, and it's never had networking issues.
I can't think of a single thing that would have "triggered" this to not work now.
I've switched ISP's like 3 times and it's always plug'n'play.
I assumed that maybe it was something to do with ports or the firewall, so I went in and removed and re-added the 8096 TCP rule to allow all, as well as the program specific rule.
All network settings within Jellyfin are default. I had remote connections enabled before (assuming it's not gonna be a factor as I'm just trying to stream over LAN).
Basically scrubbed through reddit and the forums of older posts and I'm at my wits end.
I removed the 3 or 4 plugins I had (aesthetic changes) and reinstalled from scratch... still no dice.
Then I figure, maybe I'll try with Tailscale and see how that works.
No issues. Can use my tailscale VPN and connect from my phone instantly. But the second I try my local IP address with the port it times out on all devices other than the server device itself.
Any suggestion is appreciated, I'm super confused and have no clue what the problem could be.
