I have Jellyfin 10.11.4 installed in a docker container on a Intel NUC. I have an nginx reverse proxy installed to get a SSL cert and allow external access to it. The reverse proxy also handles a handful of other website/services that I self host as well. All other services work perfectly fine, except Jellyfin. I did follow the sample shown here and basically copied the config 1-1: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-i...roxy/nginx
Strangely enough, when I try to play media from this machine, content isn't played. I get to see the movie/TV show media image but then nothing. The docker container says the FFPMEG exited with code 0 and the Android client just hangs and I can't even exit the play screen as it doesn't react to any tapping. I have to close the Jellyfin app and go in again.
When I access Jellyfin directly via the http://192.168.7.8:8096/ link instead of the https://jellyfin.domain.com/ then it plays perfectly fine and doesn't even need to transcode the very same file.
How to make this work with the reverse proxy?
